AIHEF - Asia International Hemp Expo & Forum Bangkok

The Asia International Hemp Expo & Forum (AIHEF) is a leading trade fair for the hemp industry in Asia, providing a platform for innovation, exchange, and business opportunities. Since its inception in 2022, AIHEF has been held annually at the prestigious Queen Sirikit National Convention Center in Bangkok, bringing together experts, businesses, and investors from around the world. The event is organized by N.C.C. Management & Development Co., Ltd., a seasoned organizer of international trade fairs.

With a strong focus on the entire hemp production value chain, AIHEF showcases the latest developments in the industry. It highlights advancements in cultivation and plantation technologies, processing, research, and the diverse applications of hemp in food, cosmetics, medicine, construction materials, fashion, and sustainable products. Companies present innovative processing methods, state-of-the-art technologies, and legal and regulatory aspects surrounding hemp cultivation and further processing.

The exhibition is divided into various thematic areas tailored to the needs and interests of the international hemp industry. The "Plantation Zone" focuses on agricultural technologies, seed genetics, water and energy usage, plant protection, as well as harvesting and processing machinery. The "Production Zone" features a wide range of end products, including food, dietary supplements, and cosmetics, as well as building materials such as hempcrete, fashion, furniture, and biofuels. Additionally, essential business services in marketing, packaging, financing, and legal consulting are presented.

As a leading trade fair for the Asian hemp industry, AIHEF not only strengthens Thailand's economic position but also establishes Bangkok as a key hub for trade and innovation in hemp products. In recent years, Thailand has emerged as a pioneer in progressive hemp legislation, making the event an ideal venue for international business negotiations and strategic partnerships. For companies looking to enter the Asian market, the exhibition provides a unique opportunity to connect with manufacturers, raw material suppliers, and investors.

A key highlight of the event includes expert forums and panel discussions featuring leading professionals from science, medicine, and industry. These sessions offer in-depth insights into the latest trends, legal frameworks, and future prospects of the hemp industry. Additionally, innovative products and companies that drive progress in the sector are recognized with awards. AIHEF is thus much more than an exhibition – it is a forward-looking platform for knowledge exchange and business development.

AIHEF attracts exhibitors from various sectors, including agriculture, pharmaceuticals, food production, cosmetics, fashion, construction, automotive, as well as sustainability and environmental technologies. The primary visitors consist of professionals, entrepreneurs, investors, scientists, and policymakers seeking new business opportunities and technological advancements.

The event benefits from Bangkok's strategic location, which serves as Thailand's economic center, offering first-class infrastructure and excellent accessibility. Both Suvarnabhumi International Airport and Don Mueang International Airport ensure seamless connectivity. The Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, one of Asia’s most modern trade fair and convention venues, provides an ideal setting for this significant event with its central location, modern facilities, and excellent transport links.
