Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday for an energising afternoon at The Landmark Bangkok for the Irish–Thai Chamber of Commerce Business Forum 2025: Doing Business in Thailand – Navigating Challenges & Opportunities.

It was a vibrant day of dialogue, insights, and connection among top executives, investors, and policymakers from Ireland, Thailand, and across Asia. Together, we explored key trends shaping Thailand’s economy — from the rapid rise of data centres to innovation and investment in education and skills development.

We were honoured to welcome:

• H.E. Pat Bourne, Ambassador of Ireland to Thailand
• Mr. Colm Hayes, Director General, Global & Economic Division & Asia-Pacific, DFA Ireland
• Mr. Jarlath Burns, President, Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA)

🎤 Forum Highlights

• Keynote insights from the BOI and Mr Robert Fox (JFCCT)
• Panel 1: Thailand’s fast-growing data centre ecosystem, with experts from CBRE, Siemens, Meinhardt, WT (Asia), and Evolution Data Centres
• Panel 2: Thailand’s education and skills transformation, featuring ICDL Thailand, Harbour.Space @UTCC Institute, Tinman Thailand, and the Thailand Professional Qualification Institute

🤝 Our sincere thanks to:

• The Embassy of Ireland in Thailand for their strong support

• Enterprise Ireland for their valued engagement and collaboration

• All speakers, moderators, and panellists for sharing their expertise

• Irish Chamber of Commerce Malaysia and Indonesia, and the Joint Foreign Chambers of Commerce in Thailand, for their support to the Forum

• Our members, partners, and guests for contributing to a vibrant and forward-looking forum

The day concluded with a lively networking cocktail reception, marking both the opening of the Asian Gaelic Games and the celebration of 50 years of Ireland–Thailand diplomatic relations — a fitting backdrop to strengthen ties and spark new partnerships.

We look forward to building on this momentum and continuing to support the growth of Irish–Thai business connections.
