The AEBF (Asia-Europe Business Forum) will take place in Vientiane, Lao P.D.R., from the 3rd to the 5th of November 2012.

The AEBF: since 1996, improve commercial relations between Europe and Asia.

For many years, the AEBF has been the reference platform for exchanges to strengthen economic cooperation between Europe and Asia as well as for the realisation of challenges that nations face in this key zone.

The AEBF is a major economic event that allows CEOs of the 49 member countries to meet the most important economic actors of the two continents and thus improves communication, dialog and exchanges between these two regions of the world. It is held biannually in parallel to the ASEM (Asia-Europe Meeting), which aim is to stimulate multilateral communication between Europe and Asia.

The 12th AEBF had taken place in Brussels (Belgium) in 2010.
