This month The Asia Task Force will offer a reality check on opportunities to develop business in ASEAN using case studies to look at what works. 

There will be discussion on:
• What products can be sourced effectively and profitably (What and where is the place to source product)
• What sells well into the region (how to benefit from being British) 
• How it is possible to sell services from UK into ASEAN (the story of a story teller selling well across ASEAN).

The focus is on small or medium sized businesses looking for new markets for products or services or to diversify their suppliers to improve security and profitability. The countries covered have 650 million people and use English as a key language: Myanmar, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Brunei, Vietnam, Cambodia Laos and The Philippines. 

The Asia Task Force is a network advisory group formed by business creators with their own businesses in countries across Asia. They offer market understanding combined with expertise in finance, legal and regulatory matters and logistics gained from doing business.
