He delved into the summit’s focus on overcoming the pandemic’s aftermath and thriving in the post-Covid era, stating, “A lot of investment came in during Covid, with many people buying and selling their businesses. This was the time many companies, new and old, were restructuring, expanding, and changing how they operate.”
Southeast Asia, particularly Thailand, was highlighted for its success in e-commerce, with a commendable reputation for suppliers and factories. Michelini expressed the summit’s aim to assist entrepreneurs in leveraging these strengths to build successful businesses in the evolving global landscape.
“The theme was ‘Open Borders… New Beginnings’ and focused on overcoming the damage caused by the pandemic and how to thrive now that it is over,” continued Michelini. “People in Southeast Asia had been doing particularly well with e-commerce, and Thailand had a good reputation in terms of its suppliers and factories.
