Small- and medium-sized enterprises (SME) ministers from Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) nations kicked off a meeting in Phuket on Monday, which was organised to promote the bio-circular-green (BCG) economic model among its members.
The Apec SME ministerial meetings, which will run until Saturday at SAii Laguna Hotel in Phuket, are organised by the Office of Small and Medium Enterprises Promotion (Osmep).
Osmep director, Weerapong Malai, said the meetings are a chance for Thai SMEs to reach out to other businesses in the Asia-Pacific region and expand their reach beyond their immediate region.
