ASEAN Member States (AMS). Hosted by the Philippine BOI in coor-
dination with industry stakeholders, the Forum served as the venue for
the leaders and movers of the ASEAN Printing industry to share country
experiences, local insights, and industry expertise on the state of the
66
printing industry in the region. “The global printing market is evolving as
technology in use is also changing. Amidst the shifting dynamics in the
industry, we need to showcase the capabilities of the ASEAN region in
one big event annually so that the local players can take full advantage
of the opportunities not just in our respective domestic markets but
also get the chance to gain a bigger foothold in the regional and global
markets. We call on the leadership of the ASEAN Printing industry
associations to continue engaging other industry associations to make
this dream a reality,” BOI Governor Concepcion said.
