On December 11, 2014, ACFC/BBQ collaborated with the Laos Ministry of Science and Technology to jointly plan and successfully host the First Laos National Science and Technology Expo. This high-profile international science and technology event featured participating countries including Vietnam, Malaysia, India, the United States, Russia, Switzerland, Japan, Thailand, and China. It attracted ministerial-level officials, ambassadors, and enterprise representatives from multiple nations.
ACFC/BBQ leaders attended throughout and participated deeply. The BBQ founder personally accompanied Lao leaders to visit attending ambassadors and ministerial-level officials from various countries, as well as renowned enterprises such as Huawei, Haier, and China Power Construction. This successfully mobilized global resources to support a national-level government in Laos in achieving international cooperation and showcasing in the field of science and technology.
The expo focused on exhibitions of scientific and technological achievements, international cooperation signings, and cultural exchanges. It marked the first time Laos hosted a national-level science and technology expo, opening an important chapter in the country's technological internationalization.
The BBQ Global Service Program upholds the spirit of perpetual neutrality (as in Geneva), using civil forces to promote international cooperation among national-level governments. Key highlights of this event:
• Joint planning and hosting — ACFC/BBQ deeply collaborated with the Laos Ministry of Science and Technology, leading the planning, organization, and execution of the expo throughout, providing a professional international platform for the Lao government.
• Policy empowerment and strategic support — The event helped the Laos Ministry of Science and Technology introduce global technological resources, promoting national-level scientific and technological achievements display and international cooperation, as well as advancing technology transfer and industrial upgrading.
• High-level recognition — In 2014, then-Vice President of Laos Phankham Viphavanh personally attended for guidance, with multiple high-level officials including the Minister of Science and Technology present, reflecting the trust and influence BBQ earns when serving national-level governments.
This case proves that BBQ does not interfere in sovereign affairs but uses civil forces to promote technological cooperation and mutual benefits between national-level governments, assisting in the harmonious development of science, technology, economy, and society.
The event provided global enterprises with valuable opportunities to connect with national-level government technological resources:
• International enterprise participation → Multiple enterprises from China, Malaysia, Thailand, and other countries exhibited and signed agreements, including well-known companies such as Huawei, Haier, and China Power Construction, promoting the transformation of technological achievements and industrial implementation.
• Initial application of the Q8 evaluation system → Cooperating enterprises passed BBQ assessments to ensure projects meet high-quality standards unifying benefits for the economy, society, and environment.
• Resource sharing and empowerment → BBQ mobilized global networks and technological resources, helping enterprises integrate into the Lao market, achieve green transformation, and drive innovation.
Participating enterprise representatives stated that the BBQ model allowed them not only to gain economic opportunities in international technological cooperation but also to fulfill social responsibility with love and follow sustainable development paths.
• High-profile attendance: In 2014, the then-Vice Premier of Laos personally attended for guidance, with ministerial-level officials, ambassadors, and entrepreneurs from multiple countries gathering; multiple group photos on site recorded the grand occasion.
• International cooperation signings: Multiple technological cooperation agreements were signed during the expo, promoting the implementation of subsequent projects.
• Long-term significance: As a milestone case in BBQ's early service to national-level governments, this event validated the international feasibility of public welfare industrialization (equal exchange) and commercial public welfare (triple-benefit unity), accumulating valuable experience for subsequent global summits and forums, chain coffee shop deployments, and virtual country initiatives.
The successful hosting of the First Laos National Science and Technology Expo in 2014 is a classic reference case for the BBQ Global Service Program in serving national-level governments. It proves that, under the neutral and loving BBQ grand public welfare model, governments can gain new opportunities in technological internationalization, enterprises can achieve high-quality cross-border cooperation, and regions as a whole can advance toward a new pattern of peace, prosperity, and a shared future.
BBQ will continue to quietly pursue this grand, high-quality welfare, joining hands with global partners to co-create a global family.
