DBT Midlands eBrochure: Future Entrepreneurs Trade Mission to Australia

 

Sydney & Melbourne
UK Company Profiles: 8-12 September 2024

 

Foreword

I am excited to lead the UK Government’s pilot programme for the Future Entrepreneurs, a dynamic group of innovators driving cutting-edge businesses in the food, drink, and beauty sectors across the UK.

These talented entrepreneurs, fuelled by passion and a strong ambition to expand into the Australian market, have been selected to participate in this exclusive programme in Sydney and Melbourne. Here, they will connect with key Australian industry professionals, government representatives, and have the unique opportunity to showcase their products on an international stage.

As the Head of Creative and Consumer at the British Consulate General in Sydney, I lead strategies for Digital Trade for the Creative Industries, Consumer & Retail, and Education Technologies sectors. My role is to support and enhance the UK’s business and trade agenda with Australia and New Zealand. Thanks to the groundbreaking UK-Australia Free Trade Agreement (FTA), trade is expected to increase by 53% and boost the economy by £2.3 billion. The FTA allows for more flexible rules of origin when exporting goods, equal treatment, an improved business environment for UK businesses operating in Australia and easier travel rules for UK professionals delivering services in Australia.
