Opening applications for Austrade's Digital Gateway to Southeast Asia venture
The Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) has announced a business mission to Malaysia and Singapore from October 7 to October 11, 2024. This mission is part of the Business Exchange program, a key recommendation of the Australian Government's Southeast Asia Economic Strategy to 2040.
The aim of the mission is to increase two-way trade between Australia and the region through targeted business missions across priority sectors. The focus of this mission will be on showcasing and positioning businesses within the technology sector, specifically AI, cyber, and digital health capabilities.
During the mission, businesses will have the opportunity to participate in Tech Week Singapore, which includes tailored business matching meetings, access to industry panel sessions, and participation under the Australian National Pavilion. Site visits to relevant innovation centres are also included in the program.
Attendees will benefit from a pre-departure briefing on Malaysian and Singaporean market trends, a technology ecosystem overview, and advice on localizing business development strategy and pitch. The mission will collaborate with state and territory governments to ensure a comprehensive and effective program.
The mission will also include networking events with business leaders in the region to further expand networks. Notably, attendees will have the chance to attend a Malaysia Women in Tech Forum and network with prominent female industry leaders.
Businesses will have an opportunity to pitch to system integrators, venture capitalists, and connect with senior industry stakeholders, as well as targeted Malaysian and Singaporean customers. The mission will culminate in curated business matching, pitching, site visits, and networking events.
The deadline to register for the mission is August 20, 2024. With a focus on rapid growth and change in Southeast Asia's markets, this mission offers a unique opportunity for Australian businesses to identify and capture commercial opportunities in the region.
The mission will take place in Malaysia and Singapore, and is expected to be a significant step forward in the Australian Government's efforts to strengthen economic ties with the region.
