The event offers a unique opportunity for businesses to explore cutting-edge food innovations from around the world, engage in trade negotiations, and reaffirm Thailand’s position as a global leader in the food industry under the “Thai Kitchen to the World” policy. The show is jointly organized by the Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP) of Ministry of Commerce, Thai Chamber of Commerce, and Koelnmesse Germany.

Mr.Pichai Naripthaphan, Minister of Commerce stated that Thailand has long been globally recognized for its strengths in the food industry—from the abundance and diversity of raw materials to its rich natural resources and unique culinary culture. With these advantages, the government has continuously driven forward the “Thai Kitchen to the World” policy to elevate the quality of Thai food to international standards. As a result, in 2024, Thailand was ranked as the 12th largest food exporter in the world, and the country’s export value in 2025 is projected to reach 1.75 trillion baht, representing a 6.8% increase from the previous year.

THAIFEX – ANUGA ASIA serves as a key mechanism through which the Ministry of Commerce drives the development of Thailand’s food industry. Recognized as the fourth largest food and beverage trade show in the world, the event provides a vital platform for Thai food businesses of all sizes—from SMEs and startups to major corporations—to engage in trade negotiations, build international business partnerships, and expand their export opportunities in a tangible and impactful way.

This year’s edition of THAIFEX – ANUGA ASIA has expanded significantly in both scale and participation. Over 3,200 companies from Thailand and 56 other countries are showcasing their products across more than 6,200 booths, covering every major segment of the food industry—from agricultural products and processed foods to food technologies and related innovations. The event is expected to welcome more than 90,000 trade visitors from 140 countries throughout the trade days, generating a projected trade value of over 98 billion baht, both in immediate orders and within one year following the event.

“The success of this event and the continued growth of the food industry clearly reflect Thailand’s potential to become a global hub for the food business and a trusted food reserve for the world,” said Mr. Pichai. “Thailand is well-equipped on all fronts—with world-class infrastructure, a strong business network, and steadfast government support. These elements play a vital role in building international confidence and positioning Thailand as a future global center for service industries.”

THAIFEX – ANUGA ASIA 2025 will host trade days from 27–30 May 2025, from 10.00-18.00 hrs. and will open for both trade and public visitors on 31 May 2025, from 10.00-20.00 hrs. The event will take place at IMPACT Challenger Hall 1–3 and IMPACT Exhibition Center Hall 5–12, IMPACT Muang Thong Thani.

In addition to a comprehensive showcase of food and beverage products across all categories, the event features special exhibitions, seminars, and curated activities designed to update attendees on the latest food trends, shifting consumer demands, and other valuable industry insights—creating a fresh, forward-looking experience that supports business growth and long-term success.

BLOOD and GOLD: A Wake-Up Call Wrapped in Truth

Published

on

New release from debut author Christie Sikora unveils the tragedy behind the triumph — and the truth behind the silence

Costa Mesa, CA, 18th June 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, The world came to Munich in 1972 to witness dreams come true. What unfolded instead was a tragedy that shook global consciousness — and left behind questions that have remained unanswered for over fifty years.

In her groundbreaking debut, BLOOD and GOLD: Athletes, Tragedies & Dynamism of Peace, Christie Sikora revisits the darkest day in Olympic history with one goal: to reveal the truth — and offer a path toward understanding.

Based entirely on factual truths, BLOOD and GOLD is not just a history lesson — it’s a mirror. Through investigative depth and emotional clarity, Sikora reveals the personal stories, political decisions, and human consequences that converged in Munich. Her mission is clear: to bring light where silence once stood.

“BLOOD and GOLD is not a book about blame,” says Sikora. “It’s a book about accountability, empathy, and awakening. It’s about the lives that were shattered, the voices that were ignored, and the lessons that still haven’t been learned.”

The book explores:

• The historical context that led to the tragedy
• The political missteps and ignored warnings
• The athletes and families caught in the crossfire
• And the urgent need for global peace, personal healing, and deeper truth

Sikora’s work challenges the black-and-white narratives that have dominated for decades, instead presenting a deeply human, powerfully nuanced account. She offers hope — not through idealism, but through courage, conversation, and clarity.

Every purchase of BLOOD and GOLD supports change:

• A $0.25 donation goes to Doctors Without Borders, delivering critical medical aid to crisis zones.
• A $0.25 contribution supports Dynamism to Peace International Foundation, funding trauma recovery programs for women, children, and survivors of violence worldwide.

About the Author

Christie Sikora writes with a voice that is bold, unflinching, and guided by compassion. BLOOD and GOLD is the culmination of years of research, advocacy, and soul-searching — and is already being called a “blueprint for global empathy.” Her goal is to transform not just how we remember, but how we move forward.

Where to Find It

BLOOD and GOLD: Athletes, Tragedies & Dynamism of Peace is now available at authorchristiesikora.com, Barnes & Noble, and select retailers. A nationwide tour of signings, interviews, and online panels will accompany the release.

DigiPayGuru Expands Global Reach with New Cross-Border Payment Capabilities

Published

on

New York, NY – DigiPay.Guru, a leading provider of next-generation digital payment solutions, has announced the global expansion of its cross-border payment platform. This advanced upgrade is designed to meet the growing needs of banks, fintech companies, and financial institutions across the world. With this move, DigiPay.Guru is reshaping how cross-border transactions are handled by making them faster, more transparent, highly interoperable, and accessible to all.

In today’s world of interconnected economies and mobile workforces, cross-border payments have become essential. Whether it’s migrant workers sending money home or small businesses reaching new markets, a dependable and affordable global payment infrastructure has become a necessity for millions.

This latest advancement reflects DigiPay.Guru’s ongoing commitment to building a more inclusive and efficient financial ecosystem on a global scale.

Bridging the Financial Divide Across Borders

Cross-border payments have traditionally been weighed down by major challenges. These include high transaction fees, long processing times, unclear exchange rates, and tough compliance requirements. Unfortunately, these issues affect underserved communities and emerging markets the most which makes global commerce less accessible to those who need it.

DigiPay.Guru’s upgraded cross-border payment platform removes these obstacles. With a streamlined, API-first solution that includes strong compliance tools and support for multiple currencies, the platform allows users to send and receive funds around the world without the usual complications.

“Our goal is to make global payments more accessible for everyone,” said Rahul Patel, CEO of DigiPay.Guru. “This launch helps financial institutions deliver fast, affordable, and compliant cross-border services to people who rely on them—such as migrant workers, cross-border merchants, and small enterprises.”

Key Features That Make DigiPay.Guru Stand Out

DigiPay.Guru’s cross-border solution includes a range of powerful features that help financial institutions grow their international footprint with confidence:

  1. Multi-Currency Corridor Support
    The platform enables seamless management of different currencies and exchange rates. Institutions can set corridor-specific pricing and offer real-time foreign exchange visibility, resulting in better customer satisfaction and improved profitability.
  2. Peer-to-Peer Remittances
    Customers can send secure, real-time transfers internationally using digital wallets, bank accounts, or mobile numbers. This feature is especially helpful for migrant workers sending money home or families sharing funds across countries.
  3. Bulk and Business Payments
    Enterprises can send salary payments, vendor payouts, or cross-border invoices to multiple recipients in different currencies with a single action. This functionality supports both SMEs and global payroll teams.
  4. Cross-Border Bill Payments
    Users can pay for things like education, utility bills, or insurance across countries. This brings added ease for students, expatriates, and families living abroad.
  5. AML and Sanction Screening
    The platform includes built-in KYC checks, anti-money laundering protocols, and real-time sanction screenings. This ensures every transaction complies with international standards while reducing the workload for compliance departments.
  6. Smart Routing and Reconciliation
    Transactions are routed intelligently based on speed, cost, and currency corridors. The system also includes a reconciliation dashboard that centralizes data and prepares audit-ready reports.
  7. Agent Network Enablement
    The platform enables financial institutions to build agent networks in strategic locations. This makes it easier for customers in cash-based regions to deposit or withdraw funds, bridging the gap between digital and physical banking.

Tackling a Market Worth $156 Trillion

Industry analysts estimate that the global cross-border payments market will surpass $156 trillion by the year 2030. Even today, many individuals and small businesses remain excluded due to high costs and lack of infrastructure. DigiPay.Guru’s solution is designed to fix this imbalance by combining modern fintech capabilities with an inclusive delivery model.

“When institutions use our platform, they are not just saving money. They are also extending financial dignity to the communities they serve,” added Patel. “Our solution helps them stay competitive and relevant in a world where borders matter less and digital access matters more.”

Technology That Delivers Real Impact

The foundation of DigiPay.Guru’s cross-border solution is its flexible, API-first architecture. This makes it easy to deploy, simple to integrate with legacy banking systems, and customizable to meet regional regulations.

The company is also exploring support for blockchain and digital currencies, including decentralized networks. These innovations are part of DigiPay.Guru’s plan to align with global initiatives around modern payment infrastructure like central bank digital currencies and stablecoins.

Supporting Both Banks and Fintech Innovators

DigiPay.Guru’s solution is designed to scale with its partners’ ambitions. Whether a regional bank in Africa wants to start offering international remittance services or a European fintech is planning expansion into Asia, the platform provides the right tools and flexibility. Its modular structure and regulatory support help institutions launch services faster with lower development costs.

Some key use cases include:

  • Migrant Remittance Services
  • International Payroll and Vendor Payments
  • Cross-Border B2B Transactions
  • Marketplace Payout-as-a-Service
  • Education and Healthcare Payment Solutions

Creating a Future-Ready Ecosystem

Cross-border payment innovation requires collaboration. DigiPay.Guru is actively working with regulators, correspondent banks, telecom providers, money transfer operators, and fintech players to build a more open and inclusive financial system.

By offering open APIs, easy regulatory alignment, and adaptable corridor configurations, DigiPay.Guru invites all ecosystem stakeholders to work together toward real impact across global markets.

The Road Ahead

As financial inclusion continues to be a global priority, DigiPay.Guru’s expanded cross-border capabilities come at an important time. The new solution helps financial institutions modernize their services while unlocking opportunities for unbanked and underserved populations, as well as the increasingly mobile global workforce.

Over the coming year, the company plans to grow its presence in Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. DigiPay.Guru aims to onboard more than 50 financial institutions by the end of 2025.
