China

China remains Australia’s largest trading partner, taking in 31% of its exports. However, evolving economic and geopolitical factors demand a strategic approach from Australian businesses, focusing on sectors that align with China’s market needs and offer profitability.    One promising area is China’s ‘Silver Economy,’ driven by an aging population projected to reach 402 million by 2040. This shift creates opportunities across assistive devices, anti-aging, healthcare, and geriatric care, supported by government initiatives. For Australian businesses, this sector offers access to a high-purchasing-power consumer base.

This session covered:

• State of the Chinese Economy;
• Key Industry Segments for Australian Investors to Consider; and
• China Restructuring Options

Vietnam & Indonesia

Vietnam and Indonesia stand out as promising markets for Australian companies venturing abroad. Each offers substantial growth potential fuelled by affordable labour, competitive industrial costs, and expanding consumer markets. These markets offer high-potential prospects for Australian businesses, but success depends on navigating local challenges and understanding market nuances.

This session covered:

• Vietnam and Indonesia’s Business Environment and Prospects;
• Emerging Opportunities in Key Industries; and
• Investment Vehicles & Key Considerations for Doing Business in Vietnam and Indonesia.
