The Australia-Taiwan Young Business Leaders Program is expanding and upgrading, following the success of the pilot Australia-Taiwan Emerging Business Leaders Program in 2022.
This dynamic program, launched by the Australia-Taiwan Business Council with the support of the Australian Office, Taipei, offers a unique opportunity for young professionals working in global business, international trade and investment, and emerging technologies to fast-track their careers.
Taiwan was Australia’s 6th export market in 2023. The economic relationship between the two economies is thriving – not only in the well-established sectors across natural resources, education, tourism, agribusiness, health and biotech – but also expanding rapidly into renewables and hydrogen, and critical-tech sectors. New business ventures in investment and trade as well as people-to-people links are growing healthily. This is an exciting time to be part of this dynamic partnership!
For over 40 years, the Australia-Taiwan Business Council has been building strong relationships between business leaders in both economies. The program will offer participants direct access to these leaders and industry experts, providing valuable insights and opportunities for networking and profile-building through a mix of online and on-site activities.
