This year’s Joint Meeting, celebrating the theme 'powering future development in the bilateral relationship', was once again a key opportunity for delegates to engage with business leaders in key sectors, trade and investment experts, and senior government officials, identify and develop new business partnerships and R&D collaborations between Australia and Korea and shape and influence government policy in the Australia-Korea economic relationship.
With five key industry sessions across the event, the Joint Meeting featured senior industry leaders from Australia and Korea, discussing a range of topics including green energy, critical minerals, defence, education, renewables and hydrogen, infrastructure, agriculture and financial services opportunities between our two countries.
