Informa Markets Thailand declared the launch of its flagship event, "ProPak Asia 2023," which will be held on June 14-17, 2023 in BITEC, Bangna. This trade show is a result of the joint efforts of public and private organisations, aiming to lead the MICE industry and support the Thai government's vision of establishing the country as a global MICE leader. The organiser anticipates its potential to draw over 50% of foreign exhibitors to showcase their latest technologies and innovations in this event.

Ms. Rungphech Chitanuwat, Director of ASEAN Regional Group, Informa Markets Thailand, stated: “The upcoming ProPak Asia 2023 event is a remarkable return for Informa Markets, as this year marks its 30th anniversary as a regional trade and innovation exhibition for manufacturing, processing, and packaging industries. It will be no surprise that the 30th anniversary of ProPak Asia this year will offer something special to both exhibitors and visitors. The manufacturing industries will continue to be at the core of the ecosystem, encompassing processing steps to packaging to enhance the competitiveness of M-SMEs and soar them to the leading positions in the global arena while also forming Thailand as a hub for manufacturing high-quality and productive products.  This year, we are launching the all new features including Innovation Stage: Co-host with The World Packaging Organisation (WPO), Future Food: Co-host with TasteBud Lab, Investment Clinic: Co-host with Board of Investment (BOI), ProPak Gourmet: co-host with Faculty of Agricultural Technology, King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang and Faculty of Fisheries, Kasetsart University."
