About this Event
Explore how Australian businesses can access, compete, and scale in global markets—and the role market access plays in national resilience, sovereignty, and long‑term economic growth.
This forum will unpack the realities of entering global markets, from navigating complex supply chains and geopolitical shifts to understanding where demand is emerging and how Australian capability can align. With a practical focus on access pathways, the discussion will highlight the barriers businesses face and the strategies, partnerships, and policy settings that can help overcome them.
The discussion will focus on current global trade and geopolitical trends, including EU–Australia FTA opportunities, as well as practical pathways and available support for organisations seeking to enter global and defence markets.
The forum will also examine where innovation must accelerate to meet future global demand, and which sectors present the strongest opportunities for Australian participation.
Panellists include:
- Daniel Stevens, CEO, Seitec
