Thai Government urged to also help big companies go abroad

The Thai Government should change its mindset about offering help only to small and medium-size firms expanding overseas and extend it to larger companies, said Thiraphong Chansiri, president and chief executive of Thai Union Group.

Thiraphong added that a new challenge for companies branching out internationally was working out how to produce products that suited the new generation of consumers.

He was speaking at the International Capital Markets Conference 2015, which looked at the challenges for Thai firms growing international roots.
