Bangkok, June 18, 2025 – TVA Venture Co., Ltd. and Nihon M&A Center (Thailand) Co., Ltd. have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate in supporting Thai entrepreneurs, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), in their efforts to expand, merge, or seek strategic business alliances both domestically and internationally.
TVA Venture is an advisory firm specializing in mergers and acquisitions, fundraising, business restructuring, and the development of strategic partnerships under the philosophy of “Respect, Trust & Collaboration (RT&C).” Mr.Chayaditt Hutanuwatra, Chairman of TVA Venture, stated,
“This collaboration is not merely a link between Thailand and Japan; it is about building a support structure for Thai entrepreneurs who aim to overcome capital and opportunity barriers. By combining Japanese expertise with TVA Venture’s deep understanding of the Thai business context, we can help propel Thai SMEs to become enterprises that international investors are ready to engage with for long-term partnerships.”
The event also marked the introduction of a new Japanese fund management company, “A to G Capital,” which plays a key role in investing in high-potential businesses across ASEAN countries. Their approach includes acquiring equity stakes, improving organizational structure, and supporting systematic growth — preparing businesses to transition toward larger-scale investors. This model serves as a powerful catalyst to accelerate Thai businesses toward sustainable international expansion.
Ms. Ramonawn Boonrueng, Managing Director of TVA Venture and Secretary-General of the Thai SME Confederation, commented,
“Many Thai SMEs already offer high-quality products, competitive innovative technologies, and visionary leadership teams. However, they often lack access to funding and global strategic partners. This partnership serves as a gateway for these businesses to grow both regionally and globally.
Through years of hands-on experience with the SME sector, we’ve found that many businesses possess clear potential. What they lack most today are the tools to convert that potential into lasting success. This initiative has been specifically designed to fill that gap in a concrete and practical way.”
Nihon M&A Center, a Japan-based M&A advisory firm founded in 1991, has executed over 10,000 M&A transactions across Japan. Between 2021 and 2024, the company was recognized by Guinness World Records as the world’s leading M&A advisory for SMEs. Mr. Takanosuke Kigawa, Managing Director of Nihon M&A Center (Thailand), said,
“M&A is not just about matching businesses — it’s about preparing them holistically in terms of finance, strategy, and corporate culture to enable true, sustainable growth. Our partnership with TVA Venture will provide Thai entrepreneurs structured access to the expertise and investor networks from both Japan and Europe.”
This collaboration is not only a stepping stone in connecting investors with Thai businesses, but also a vital mechanism to create new opportunities amid ongoing economic changes — empowering Thai SMEs to elevate their capabilities and compete sustainably on the global stage.
In addition, both parties plan to jointly host workshops, in-depth training programs, and business networking activities throughout 2025, aimed at further strengthening the readiness and competitiveness of Thai SMEs for the international market.
