Event Details
Global trade is evolving at a rapid pace and has been further accelerated by the digital revolution. By 2040, Asia is expected to account for more than half of global GDP and 40% of global consumption. These changes provide enormous opportunities for businesses to take advantage of growing export markets and digitisation has forever changed the way suppliers and consumers are connected. Maintaining connections with traditional markets while also expanding into new markets enables businesses to grow and economies to be more resilient.
With this, ANZCHAM has partnered with the Victorian Government Trade and Investment Office for our Monthly Membership Meeting this coming 12 October 2021, 4:00-5:00 p.m. (GMT+8) via Zoom. Come hear from Rebecca Hall, Victoria's Commissioner to South East Asia about how the Victoria Government Trade and Investment Office has been critical to Victoria's successful engagement in South East Asia and how they can help you extend your business into Victoria or partner with businesses from the state.
Plus, we will hear from our friends from Woolworths International to talk about some of the most trusted brands in Australia today!
Mark your calendars and register now!
