WELCOME TO THE AUSTRALIA-TAIWAN BUSINESS COUNCIL (ATBC)
ABOUT THE AUSTRALIA-TAIWAN BUSINESS COUNCIL (ATBC)
Established in 1983, the ATBC set itself the goal of being Australia’s most commercially astute, professional, discreet and effective organisation promoting the nation’s interests in east Asia.
In the absence of diplomatic relations between Australia and Taiwan the ATBC has added strength, depth and resilience to links between the two countries.
For almost forty years, ATBC has worked in the interests of its members and in an effective partnership with Austrade, DFAT and other federal and state government agencies, fostering business between Australia and Taiwan. ATBC has a strong record of achievement, recognised by national and sub-national governments and business communities in both countries.
