Export-Import Bank of Thailand (EXIM Thailand), in collaboration with the Innovation and Technology Assistance Program (ITAP) under the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) and the Thailand Institute of Scientific and Technological Research (TISTR), organized the “SMEs Export Studio Fair 2025: From Local Style to Global Smile” at EXIM Thailand’s Head Office on November 26, 2025. The Event aims to advance Thai entrepreneurs in packaging development, Thai brand identity building, and strategic marketing for sustainable market expansion.  
Mr. Charat Rattanaboonniti, EXIM Thailand President, revealed that the Event highlights the achievements of entrepreneurs who have undergone incubation in the “SMEs Export Studio” Program during 2023-2025, as well as showcases the creativity of new generation entrepreneurs from the “EXIM 2X” Program Class 1, 2025, which equips entrepreneurs with end-to-end export expertise, from packaging design and brand identity building to strategic foreign market planning and enhancement of product standards to meet global market needs. The Program serves as a forum for Thai Entrepreneurs’ real market testing and assessment of the prospects and needs of consumers before expansion to the global front.
Mr. Charat said that this event would open up opportunities for entrepreneurs to have real market testing ahead of fully entering export operations. EXIM Thailand has joined forces with public and private partners to strengthen SMEs’ competitiveness through the 2D-2S development model: Design & Packaging, Digital Transformation, Standards & Sustainability, and Strategic Partnerships, in combination with incubation of new generation entrepreneurs under the EXIM 2X Program to build them as a future driving force of Thai export growth.
EXIM Thailand will continue advancing its role as an “Export Co-pilot,” acting as a comprehensive business partner for exporters. The Bank will broaden its proactive efforts in connecting Thai entrepreneurs with high potential overseas buyers, mitigating risks from global economic downturns, and geopolitical tensions. EXIM Thailand will work closely with public and private alliance agencies both domestically and overseas in providing knowledge, advisory support, and market-entry guidance in areas such as marketing, risk management, and access to financing.
Furthermore, EXIM Thailand will boost liquidity for participating entrepreneurs with offering of such financial products as export credit facilities at special interest rates and export credit insurance covering up to 300,000 baht to mitigate risks of non-payment by foreign buyers. These initiatives reinforce the government’s “Quick Big Win” policy to strengthen Thai entrepreneurs’ capabilities, expand trade opportunities, and solidify the global presence of Thai products.
