As we enter the new year and turn our attention to the exciting year that lies ahead of us, we thought it might be useful to take a moment to reflect on everything that we as a chamber have achieved over the previous 12 months.

OUTLOOK 2021

To give a better idea to our members of what they can expect from AHK Australien in 2021, the year will be characterised by four focus industries:

CLEAN ENERGY

FOOD & BEVERAGE MANUFACTURING

MINING & RESOURCES

HEALTH TECH

In addition to servicing all our existing members and their respective industries, we have identified areas of growth and increased bilateral opportunities. These areas will be reflected in the events, delegations and social occasions taking place. We encourage you to get in contact with the membership department for more information, or if you have your own ideas you would like to discuss.
