About this Event
Asia, the fastest-growing region globally, attracted just over half of all foreign direct investment (FDI) in 2022, underscoring its appeal as a hotspot for global capital. With its rapidly expanding middle class and large population base, Asia’s economic growth presents unparalleled opportunities for Australian businesses ready to expand their footprint.
Join us for an insightful exploration of the dynamic business environments of China, Vietnam, and Indonesia. Our expert will guide you through each country’s business environment, anticipated economic trends, and policy updates, while also uncovering opportunities for foreign investment for 2025.
VIETNAM & INDONESIA
Vietnam and Indonesia stand out as key players in Southeast Asia, offering fertile ground for Australian businesses looking to internationalize. Both nations boast significant growth potential, fuelled by favourable economic conditions, abundant labour, cheap industrial rents, and an increasingly affluent consumer base. With Vietnam’s GDP expected to grow by approximately 6% and Indonesia’s by 5% in 2024, Australian expertise aligns well with the demand in these growing markets, presenting ample opportunities for businesses to thrive.
However, success in these markets requires navigating complex business landscapes. Understanding local challenges and nuances is essential for companies aiming to set up shop.
This session will cover:
- Vietnam and Indonesia’s Business Environment and Prospects
- Emerging Opportunities in Key Industries
- Investment Vehicles & Key Considerations for Doing Business in Vietnam and Indonesia
CHINA
China remains Australia’s largest trading partner globally, representing 31% of its exports. However, the evolving economic and geopolitical landscape demands a strategic focus. Australian businesses must identify sectors where they can address China’s market needs to ensure long-term success.
One key growth area is the ‘Silver Economy,’ driven by China’s aging population, which is expected to reach 402 million by 2040. This demographic shift presents challenges but also opens opportunities across sectors such as the assistive devices industry, anti-aging industry, healthcare industries, and geriatric care services. With the Chinese government’s support through targeted initiatives, this sector offers significant opportunities for Australian businesses ready to tap into a growing consumer group with substantial purchasing power.
This session will cover:
- State of the Chinese Economy
- Key Industry Segments for Australian Investors to Consider
- China Restructuring Options
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This comprehensive seminar is recommended for businesses looking to take the next step in their international trade journey to boost their exports and supply chain resilience.
