SYNOPSIS

Amidst the rising global uncertainties due to pandemics and rising competition of borderless trade,enterprises and business owners must proactively expand their regional presence to benefit from the growing opportunities across the Asia Pacific. Product quality assurance, conformity compliance and go-to-market excellence will be crucial. The adoption of IoT in home appliances, retail, office automation and many others has increased efficiency and business development growth. SEC Consulting states in 2020, over 8.6b things are connected to the internet with $583b worth of marketing opportunity. IDC Report estimates that Asia Pacific spending on IoT will reach USD288b in2021. However, the lack of IoT trade conformity, products’ compliance and gaps in competent workforce are hampering the growth potential in the region. This Webinar seeks to broaden your knowledge on current cross-border trade, targeting South East Asia, as well as develop your corporate team’s competencies in your product’s trade conformity and compliance requirements. You will learn more on the legal framework, product technical standards, the process lifecycle from product conformity to Customs clearance and market development.
