On behalf of Asialink Business and Investment NSW, you are invited to join the event ‘ASEAN Growth: ASEAN Market Update for NSW Businesses', featuring an address by the Hon Anoulack Chanthivong MP, NSW Minister for Industry and Trade.

The ASEAN region is projected to become the world’s fourth-largest economy by 2040, bringing tens of millions of people into the middle class. The event will highlight the significant growth opportunities for NSW businesses in Southeast Asia, driven by rising incomes, urbanisation, and digital adoption. With a focus on the food, beverage, and technology sectors, this event will offer valuable insights on how NSW businesses can capitalise on these dynamic markets to expand and diversify their exports.

The event is part of the ‘ASEAN Market Update for NSW Businesses’ series, providing businesses with key market trends, sector-specific opportunities, and expert insights on the practicalities of doing business. Participants will hear firsthand from businesses who have successfully expanded into the region.
