How your business can tap the lucrative ASEAN region
Peter McKenna | August 1, 2016
The Australia-ASEAN region is undergoing historic changes that impact businesses, especially SMEs, domestically and internationally.
Landmark agreements such as the ASEAN Economic Community, Trans-Pacific Partnership, Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement (AANZFTA) and others, make it critical for Australian and ASEAN businesses to be informed and position themselves to benefit from the opportunities which these agreements present.
Unprecedented world events like Brexit also have a regional impact.
ASEAN member countries comprise Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Lao PDR, and Myanmar (Burma).
Collectively, they make up the 7th largest economy in the world.
So how does an Australian business access this dynamic market to take advantage of the current climate?
In conjunction with the Singapore Business Group (Aust) Inc, Venturenauts is hosting a conference ‘Australia-ASEAN Business Relations Conference 2016: A New Era of Trade, Investment and ‘Doing Business’ Opportunities’ on Friday 19 August 2016 in Brisbane.
The one-day ‘how to’ event is for Australian and ASEAN businesses looking to grow in the dynamic South-East Asian region (and beyond).
Australian and ASEAN business leaders and experts will share on-the-ground insights on the changing region, capitalising on opportunities, overcoming challenges, connecting to regional value chains, market entry strategies, business models and structuring to minimise risk.
The participating ASEAN and Australian business leaders and experts will discuss:
✓How the region is changing and impacting business
