Description

Moving beyond the headlines, the session aims to provide a candid, forward looking conversation on the forces shaping Thailand’s future and what they mean for business leaders and decision-makers. Held under the Chatham House Rule, this session will encourage an open, substantive exchange on the trends, challenges, and opportunities that could influence Thailand’s economic and policy landscape in the years ahead.

Drawing on the expertise of Professor Dr. Kriengsak Chareonwongsak, President of the Institute of Future Studies for Development (IFD), in governance, leadership, systems thinking, and Thailand’s long-term competitiveness, the discussion will explore what has changed, what remains unresolved, and what business leaders should be watching in the decade ahead.
