The Victoria & EU Economic Forum is heading into the second year in a row! AHK Australien is again partnering with the French-Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industri, the Italian Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Melbourne, the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce Australia and Global Victoria to offer a unique platform for a dialogue between the EU and Victoria.

The evening is filled with great speakers to provide a perspective built on experience on how the European Union and Victoria can strengthen the collaboration and partnership across regions.

You can look forward to:

• A keynote address by the Hon. Danny Pearson, Minister for Finance and Minister for Economic Growth and Jobs.

• A moderated interview with Ms. Joanna Pocztowska, Head of Section for Trade and Economic Affairs at the European Union Delegation to Australia.

• A panel discussion featuring leaders from four major European companies, discussing the opportunities and challenges of operating in Victoria. They will highlight their contributions to job creation, innovation, and economic resilience, and how their strategies align with the Victorian Government’s vision for sustainable growth and circularity. We are excited to see a representative of our Platinum Partner Merck Life Science ANZ, in the panel to offer a German perspective to the discussion.

Stay for deeper conversations with our panellists and fellow event attendees after our formalities conclude and strengthen business relations between Europe and Victoria.

As this is an official event, we encourage you to follow a business formal dress code.
