EABC - The Annual Meeting of the European Business Organisation Worldwide Network (EBOWN) 2026

From 1–5 June 2026, Dr. Charanya Nopnukulvised, Operations Director, represented EABC Thailand at the Annual Meeting of the European Business Organisation Worldwide Network (EBOWN) in Brussels, which brought together European Business Organisations from 6 regions and 54 countries.

It was an intensive week of discussions with the European Commission and fellow European chambers, focusing on some of the most pressing issues shaping today’s global business environment from competitiveness and economic security to supply chain resilience, market access, digital sovereignty, and the evolving trade landscape.

A particular highlight was the opportunity to meet with Mr. Christopher Kiener, EU Chief Negotiator for the EU–Thailand FTA, and Ms. Silvia Formentini, Team Leader for EU–Southeast Asia Trade Relations, ahead of the 9th round of EU–Thailand FTA negotiations taking place in Brussels in the coming weeks.

EBOWN continues to provide a valuable platform to bring the voice of the European business community in Thailand into global discussions, while also strengthening the collective voice of European business beyond the EU.

The week also marked the launch of the EBOWN Global Business Sentiment Report 2026, offering insights from European businesses operating across 59 countries on the global business outlook and key challenges ahead.
