Projects
In 2021, the GTCC Corporate Services Department once again organized numerous target groupspecific projects, business delegations, events and workshops that were aimed at fostering bilateral trade relations between Thailand and Germany. In response to the continuous challenges faced related to the Covid-19 pandemic most of these activities had been organized as online formats.
In addition, consulting days and related activities with local Chambers of Commerce and Industry in Germany (IHKs) and leading associations (e.g., Association for Supply Chain Management, Procurement and Logistics, BME) were supported. Moreover, the department processed around 900 business and trade requests and did 100+ online consulting appointments in 2021.
The portfolio of activities in 2021 included (but was not limited to) projects supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK), private sector businesses, government/federal state agencies, industry associations and authorities as well as content-driven events (see list below). In 2021 GTCC organized several online business missions to Thailand, as well as an online business mission for Thai decision-makers to Germany.
