With broad and deep local market knowledge and an international approach, Swiss Advice is supporting Swiss and other European SME and new businesses to enter into ASEAN markets. The Asian Economic Community (AEC), and especially Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore offer exciting opportunities for enterprises seeking to expand their business. The combined ASEAN countries rank with regard to size, population and economic growth as the 5th largest market worldwide. Market entrants, however, are facing challenges ranging from cultural business behaviour and language barriers, over legal frameworks to access of validated business data and sustainable sales channels.
Establishing an operation in these countries can be very time-consuming and expensive. Swiss Advise’s expertise helps their clients overcome these challenges and facilitates market access. With our proven methodology we minimize costs & risks and maximize our clients’ returns.
Complex projects often require more than strategic advice. They depend on reliable local coordination, clear responsibilities and disciplined follow-through. Swiss Advice Asia supports selected cross-border and regional initiatives from early assessment and project structuring through stakeholder alignment, implementation and operational follow-up.
Working as an extension of the client team, we help translate strategic objectives into practical workstreams, coordinate local partners and specialised advisers, and maintain momentum across markets. Our involvement is tailored to each assignment and focused on resolving implementation challenges, managing interfaces and achieving measurable project progress.
ASEAN, in particular, South East Asia contains the majority of the fastest growing economies, and its growing middle-income population is attracting not only large-scale companies to expand their businesses in the region. However, after considering the limited network, know-how, resources and financials, a market entrance for SME’s & startups can be challenging. With our local knowledge, expertise and strong network we can facilitate a smooth market entry and thereby commercialize your products and services within ASEAN countries.
For a designated period of time, we act as an extended business unit under your branding and control. Under the umbrella of Swiss Advice in Bangkok, we can minimize market entry risk by doing the heavy lifting for you. With our support, you can keep initial investments low and reduce time spent exploring new markets in the region.
Open markets enable companies to source materials and outsource production to suppliers in developing and emerging economies such as the ASEAN countries. Compared to large firms, who benefit from cross-border supply chain management, small and medium enterprises (SME’s) are often lagging behind in recognizing how the integrated supply chain can drive astonishing changes in business processes in order to achieve better results related to quality services, cost reduction and efficiency.
Swiss Advice aims to support SME’s with contemporary holistic services from demand, sourcing and procurement, production and logistics processes management to embedding environmental, governmental and socio-cultural aspects. In an initial phase, we mainly provide services in the areas of supply chain market analysis, strategic and low-cost country sourcing and procurement support.
Creating a transparent and business-friendly regulatory framework but also Improving infrastructure is crucial for attracting foreign direct investments (FDIs) into the ASEAN region. To optimize the outdated economic situation, governments and relevant authorities should prioritize infrastructure development projects, such as upgrading transportation networks, building efficient logistics hubs, and investing in digital infrastructure. This will not only improve connectivity within the ASEAN countries but also create a conducive environment for businesses and investors.
