From major projects such as Brisbane 2032 to the expansion of the high-speed rail network: construction and infrastructure offer highly attractive prospects. Yet it is precisely the specialised niches in premium supply chains and bespoke technological solutions that promise excellent margins.
Beyond that, Australia is gaining increasing strategic importance as a reliable anchor point for supply chain diversification. As a resource-rich country, the continent offers secure access to critical minerals – however, the downstream processing capabilities are lacking, and this is exactly where German expertise is in demand.
Be among the first to discover how to leverage this new era and the opportunities in lucrative niche markets to your advantage – and how to navigate regulatory hurdles with confidence. Using concrete business cases, we will show you how German companies are already operating successfully in the Australian market, and which best practices you can apply to your own market entry.
Our team will be represented on-site by Max Schnarr, our Deputy Managing Director and Head of Operations and Corporate Development.
