From February 28 to March 1, 2024, the "BRICS countries' overseas public welfare tutoring class in Thailand and Indonesia" jointly created by PDAEXSEA, the International Economic and Technical Cooperation Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and Qiufeng Consulting was successfully held in Shenzhen.
The International Cooperation Center is a bureau-level institution of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology that specializes in international industrial cooperation. The International Cooperation Center focuses on the integrated development of international cooperation and think tank research business, and strives to build a high-end platform for international cooperation in the field of industry and information technology, a high-end research think tank and a comprehensive economic and trade service platform.
In the two-day course, Mr. Shi, with his profound professional background and rich practical experience, systematically disassembled the industrial overseas expansion policy dividends under the background of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Thailand and the new policy of Indonesia for entrepreneurs, attracting dozens of entrepreneurs and executives from the fields of manufacturing, new energy, consumer goods, etc. to participate. The response on the spot was enthusiastic, injecting strong momentum for enterprises to layout the Southeast Asian market.
In-depth policy interpretation to address the pain points of enterprises going overseas
At present, domestic enterprises are facing severe challenges of "internal and external difficulties": internal operating costs are rising and industry competition is intensifying; externally, the United States is promoting the decoupling of the industrial chain, the EU has erected high carbon tariff barriers, and the "nearshore outsourcing" trend has forced Chinese enterprises to accelerate their global layout.
Mr. Shi profoundly expounded on the grim reality of "not going overseas means being out of the game, and going overseas blindly means being out of the game", which resonated strongly among entrepreneurs.
For the Thai market, Shi Jingjing explained in detail the key points of BOI incentive policy application, revealed the location advantages of Thailand's Eastern Economic Corridor, and combined with the case of Wenzhou leather goods companies successfully obtaining BOI approval due to production process optimization, emphasizing that "deep integration of the industrial chain" is the key to enjoying policy dividends.
In the Indonesia special topic, Mr. Shi analyzed Indonesia's investment potential from all aspects, including policies, labor, market size, industry trends, etc., interpreted Indonesia's investment preferential policies and applicable industries, and sorted out Indonesia's investment implementation process and investment costs in detail, so that entrepreneurs have a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the Indonesian market.
"This course has completely overturned our perception of the Southeast Asian market!" said the head of a smart manufacturing company. "In the past, I thought Southeast Asia was just a cost depression, but now I realize that policy dividends and industrial chain synergy are the core value." After the course, corporate representatives still gathered around Mr. Shi, competing to consult on various issues regarding their companies' overseas expansion. Mr. Shi patiently answered their questions and cleared the fog for their companies' overseas expansion.
As the industrialization process in Southeast Asia accelerates, PDAEXSEA will continue to escort Chinese enterprises with professional services and keep steady in the wave of globalization.
In the future, PDAEXSEA will continue to combine resources from all parties to hold more high-quality events, and accompany more enterprises to successfully go overseas and step onto the world stage.
