Asia represents substantial opportunities (business development, sourcing, investments...). However, Asian countries are deeply different from each other, probably as much as European countries are. Our team prepared a series of Asian Country Briefings to help our visitors, friends, and partners better understand those different countries from a business prospective. In this short report, you will find an overview of the Asian countries we will cover. We hope you will find it useful and then be in a strong(er) position to benefit from the substantial opportunities the Asian markets offer, be it for investments, disribution, outsourcing (IT services, Engineering services), or European sourcing purposes. Should you have questions or comments, feel free to post them in the comment box below or drop us a note to relations@eurosia.eu.
