ACBW 2013 Melbourne

Since its launch in 2008, ACBW has grown to become the premier annual event serving to strengthen Sino- Australian business links across all industry sectors through fostering B2B connections.

Building on the success of ACBW in Melbourne and Sydney during 2012 with over 1000 delegates and visitors attending, ACBW 2013 expanded even further with the successfully launched Australia China BusinessWeek in China’s commercial capital- Shanghai.

Entering its sixth year, ACBW 2013, continues to create a unique platform for Australian businesses especially SMEs who are seeking a path to success in China, as well as Chinese entrepreneurs wishing to engage directly with their counterparts in Australia.

ACBW 2013 helps companies to define effective entry and expansion strategies in China through a solid knowledge on government policies, business landscape and the latest economic outlook.

More importantly, it connects businesses with potential distributors, partners and investors through a succession of well-designed events: ACBW Breakfast, Forum, China Day Forum, Luncheon and Mix at Six Networking Function .
