In 2019, Australia’s economic growth rate is anticipated to slow at approximately twice the speed of other developed economies - shrinking from 2.8% in 2018 to 2.1%. To remain competitive in an evolving global landscape, it is imperative Australian businesses embrace growth through innovation.
The American Chamber of Commerce in Australia and the Australia Israel Chamber of Commerce are pleased to offer the opportunity to join them and other senior leaders on trips to the U.S.A. and Israel to explore sustaining growth through innovation.
Leading the delegation will be world class innovators Maureen Dougherty, President, Boeing Australia, New Zealand and South Pacific; and Robyn Denholm, Chairman, Tesla.
Delegates will be exposed to the unique culture, capabilities and cutting edge technological development that continue to make the U.S.A. and Israel frontrunners in global innovation and entrepreneurial success. They will also have unrivalled access to thought leaders and experts, providing valuable insights, connections and business opportunities, and will enjoy group networking events and cultural experiences. Drawing inspiration from the success and innovation of world class companies, delegates will take home valuable lessons for their own businesses.
