40th AKBC-KABC Joint Meeting
Closing cocktail reception
The Australia-Korea bilateral relationship has a rich and robust history. The strategic importance of the relationship continues to grow. Korea is Australia's third largest export market and fourth largest trading partner. Korea has also been a longstanding investor in Australia and has helped build the economic capacity of Australia.
Australian resources and agricultural products fuel the Korean economy, while Korean electronics, cars, cosmetics and equipment have become household names in Australia. The two countries are linked by a wide-ranging free trade agreement (KAFTA), offering preferential access. The diverse and innovative economics of both countries are creating new exciting opportunities for collaboration. Now is a great time to take a first or fresh look at these opportunities.
The Australia-Korea Business Council (AKBC) and Korea-Australia Business Council (KABC) exist to develop understanding of these opportunities, build linkages between companies and work with business leaders and government to widen and strengthen the dynamic economic relationship.
The flagship event each year is the Joint Meeting between the two business councils, the AKBC and KABC, which this year will be held on 12 - 13 November in Sydney, Australia. The annual Joint Meeting has a proud 39-year history and is the premier Australia-Korea business event. The Joint Meeting is widely regarded by senior decision makers and key influencers from industry, government and academia involved in Australia-Korea business as the one event in the year not to be missed.
The program will extend over two-days and include site visits, a welcome dinner hosted by the NSW Government, future leaders program, Australian delegation breakfast and the Joint Meeting.
This year, AKBC will host the 40th Joint Meeting under the theme of ‘Celebrating 40 years: charting a new course in the bilateral relationship’. We expect the conversation to focus on the future of energy, including renewables and hydrogen, biotechnology, financial services, infrastructure and innovation.
The Joint Meeting attracts a senior delegation from Korea, led by the Korea Australia Business Council Chairman and CEO of POSCO, Mr. Jeong Woo Choi. The Australian delegation will be led by the recently appointed chair of the AKBC, the Hon Simon Crean.
