Offering Services from France to ASEAN Countries: Opportunities, Risks and Practical Solutions

In an increasingly uncertain global economic landscape, both ASEAN economies and European businesses are actively seeking stable markets, resilient partnerships, and sustainable growth strategies. ASEAN continues to position itself as a compelling destination for French and European service providers, offering strong growth potential and opportunities to diversify beyond traditional markets.

In this context, ASEAN provides an attractive investment destination for French businesses, offering ample opportunities to diversify customer bases and service locations beyond traditional markets.

Our experts from Luther’s ASEAN offices (Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam) and our partner firm Fidal will share practical insights on:

• Key business opportunities for European service providers across ASEAN
• Regulatory frameworks and market entry considerations
• Contractual risks and common pitfalls in cross-border service delivery
• Data protection, cybersecurity, and cross-border data transfer requirements
• Tax implications when servicing ASEAN clients from Europe or locally
• Strategic considerations when scaling your footprint in ASEAN

This session provides a valuable opportunity to gain multi-jurisdictional insights and better understand how to effectively structure and deliver services across ASEAN markets.
