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.
ATBC is pleased to announce the successful candidates who have been selected to participate in the Australia-Taiwan Emerging Business Leaders Program (the Program). The Program generated great interest from many highly qualified candidates in many fields from both Taiwan and around Australia. The 16 successful candidates bring with them a wide range of skills and experience. It is hoped that through the events, workshops and conferences of the Australia-Taiwan Emerging Business Leaders Program, they will be able to learn from each other and from the prominent stakeholders in the Australia-Taiwan relationship who are contributing to the Program. It will be an amazing chance to brainstorm new ideas, establish relationship, and find new connections to further vitalize the business interactions between Australia and Taiwan.
An official announcement of the 16 successful candidates was inaugurated at the first event of the Program on 28th April 2022 in Taipei and Sydney hybrid format.
With the official commencement of the ATBC’s Emerging Business Leaders Program on 28th April 2022 in Sydney and Taipei using a hybrid format, the 16 successful Leaders are already hard at work preparing for their first activity, which will be unveiled in an open-to-the-public Workshop on Wednesday 18th May. 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.
The session will be an online escape room for the Leaders’ networking only – Not to the public.

This forum, in which participants will present their own individual pitch, is also open to the public online and will include a Q&A session with a great expert panel.
