The full-day event aimed to increase trade connectivity, tap into the full potential and advantages of each locality, and increase regional trade connectivity.

The activity was part of the supporting measures to help businesses solve their difficulties, increase connections between producers and distributors, and introduce outstanding and special products and those with high potential for export international trade promotion agencies, importers, and domestic and international distributors. It was also to implement the national promotion programme in 2022.

Business networking was also held for suppliers, distributors and retailers. They included Winmart, Lotte Mart, Aeon, Central Retail, MM Mega Maket, BRG, BigGreen, and e-commerce platforms.
