On 29 October 2026, the AFSIS Secretariat was invited to participate in the Thailand Space Expo under the theme “Northern Lights over Bangkok: Finland–Thailand Space Dialogue”, hosted by H.E. Ms. Kristiina Kuvaja-Xanthopoulos, Ambassador of Finland to Thailand. The dialogue brought together experts from various sectors to exchange views on space technology and opportunities for cooperation between Finland and Thailand.

Furthermore, on 9 November 2026, the AFSIS Secretariat was invited to attend the Finnish Food Innovation event under the theme “Kitchen of the World Meets Finnish Innovation”, organized by the Embassy of Finland in Thailand. The event brought together numerous companies and organizations for discussions on potential networking opportunities and new partnerships between Thailand and Finland in the food industry, particularly in the areas of food innovation and future food. These discussions provided an opportunity for participants to exchange ideas, connect with potential partners, and explore opportunities for future collaboration. Several companies, particularly those from Finland, also presented their innovations, technological developments, and areas of interest in establishing partnerships with other organizations and businesses to promote cooperation.

The AFSIS Secretariat was greatly honored to participate in both events. Beyond gaining valuable insights from the discussions and presentations, the events also provided a meaningful opportunity to broaden perspectives, establish new connections, and explore potential partnerships that could lead to future collaboration and support the continued development of AFSIS activities.
