Australia-Taiwan Emerging Business Leaders Program

About the Program

The Australia-Taiwan Business Council Limited (ATBC) is conducting the Australia-Taiwan Emerging Business Leaders Program (Program), as a steppingstone in deepening the B2B relationship between Australia and Taiwan by identifying and encouraging the next generation of business leaders.

The Program will run over the 2022 year.

The key outcome of the Program is to promote, develop and connect emerging business leaders from Australia and Taiwan, particularly in the following sectors:

  • Renewable energy
  • Innovation
  • Education
  • Tourism
  • Agriculture
  • Fintech

The Program will include the following:

  • virtual and in-person forums, workshops, and networking events; and
  • promotion and profiling of Program participants through communications and publications, culminating, in the Emerging Business Leaders’ Summit in October-November 2022.

The Program will create opportunities for participants to share their experience and insights through promotions and profiles and will support them in maintaining their professional networks and pursue career opportunities in the Australia-Taiwan bilateral relationship as Program Alumni.

The 16 participants have been divided into four teams, each with a mix of skills and experience. Each team has given an icebreaker topic for them to work together to present at the online Workshop to the public. This provided a chance for this talented group of people to show how, working together, they can generate bigger and better ideas that will benefit the commercial space between Australia and Taiwan. Setting the tone for the Workshop will be keynote speaker Dr David Howard-Jones, a partner in Marsh McLennan’s finance and risk practice and Director, Oliver Wyman Australia with live voting poll as which was the best performed Team.
