With the Thuringian delegation trip to the MERCOSUR states of Argentina and Brazil From October 31 to November 7, under the leadership of Thuringian Minister of Economic Affairs Colette Boos-John, new market opportunities in South America will be highlighted. This initiative is driven by the new EU-MERCOSUR agreement, which significantly facilitates economic exchange between Europe and South America. Visits to Buenos Aires, Porto Alegre, and Rio de Janeiro will provide Thuringian companies with access to key players in business, science, and politics. The trip aims to facilitate market access for Thuringian companies, strengthen their strategic positioning, and help them identify suitable cooperation partners and opportunities in the region. The focus will be on potential in the areas of innovation, technology, business, and science. Registration and further information can be found on the event website.
The Thuringian company trip to Vietnam and Thailand From October 3rd to 10th, the trip is aimed at companies and research institutions (especially in the fields of sensor technology and Industry 4.0) that wish to benefit from the dynamic development of Southeast Asia. Both countries belong to the ASEAN economic area and are steadily gaining importance as both sales regions and procurement markets. Furthermore, both countries offer themselves as cooperation partners for skilled worker projects. While Vietnam, with its Thuringian foreign office, has long been a focus of Thuringian support activities, Thailand has had a less prominent presence in this regard. The trip offers the opportunity to learn about regional market structures in both countries, establish business contacts, and assess opportunities in one of the world's fastest-growing regions.
