The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) comprises of 10 countries, with a population of over 625 million, and a combined nominal gross domestic product (GDP) of over US $2.8 trillion. If counted as a single entity, it would rank sixth in the world, making ASEAN a very attractive market. To facilitate regional business and leverage on the strengths of individual country chambers / councils, Dutch Chambers in the Southeast Asian region committed to collaboration under the title of The ASEAN Dutch Chamber Network (ADCN).
ADCN consists of six Dutch Chambers of Commerce (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam), and represents a diverse range of Dutch Business, cutting across almost every commercial sphere from manufacturing and financial services, to Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), and high end electronics and communications.
ADCN is developing some common exposure, better streamlining of membership, and providing increased opportunities for respective members to attend events from Dutch Chamber colleagues that could especially be of interest for many regional representatives here in ASEAN. Read on to find out more about the individual chambers. To visit our regional Chamber page, please click here.

As part of the services offered by ADCN, an official podcast channel called “Zooming in on Dutch Businesses in ASEAN” has been established, kindly made possible by NLinBusiness. For the podcast, each chamber / hub will provide relevant information on business opportunities for Dutch companies in ASEAN, zooming in on their respective countries together with local experts and Dutch entrepreneurs. This results in intellectual and interesting conversations from which Dutch companies looking to enter into the ASEAN market can gain knowledge and information for their organizations.
