Join leading UK F&D brands and become an ASEAN Food & Drink Exporters Forum Member

The Forum delivers bi-monthly Virtual Roundtable Meetings that focus specifically on each ASEAN export market and deep dives into the key issues affecting exports on a market-by-market basis.

The Forum was created in 2020 to bring together Executives of established UK food and drink brands interested in growing sales to ASEAN markets to share strategies and insights about commercial trade.

There is no cost to join the Forum.

Members have the opportunity to validate key aspects of their current export businesses to ASEAN markets with other experienced food and drink exporters.

Sessions are not recorded to foster open discussion amongst Members.

Meetings are chaired by one of the industry’s leading experts, Cameron Gordon, Incite Founding Partner + Head of Client Growth, with over 10 years of experience launching food and drink brands into ASEAN markets.

2022, it’s a wrap!

In 2022 we held 6 roundtable meetings.

Each meeting hosted 16 Forum Members from the United Kingdom and issues discussed included; market entry models, product trends, regulations and barriers to entry, success stories, tips and hacks for doing business in the market.

Thank you to participating Members.

We will announce the 2023 format soon.
