An insightful working lunch organized by Fundación Consejo España-Australia (SACF - Spain Australia Council Foundation) on the occasion of the visit of Austrade's DCEO Daniel Boyer, a great opportunity to exchange views and experiences on trade and investment between #Australia and #Spain. Figures on trade, investment and education between Spain and Australia show strong ties and a growing affiliation between the two countries: 🚉 Australia is the second market after the US where Spanish companies are most successful in winning public tenders. According to the Spanish Ministry of Economy, in 2023, 14% of all tenders awarded to Spanish companies were in Australia, second only to the US with 24%. 🎓 In terms of education, Australia has overtaken the UK and the US as the top destination for Spanish students to work and learn English, according to Education First (EF). 💲 In addition, Australia was the fifth largest investor in Spain in 2022 (more than €1.35 billion, representing 4% of total investment). 🌏 Australia is also regarded as an excellent platform to expand to other countries in Southeast Asia and the APAC region. If you're interested in Australia, contact Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) and we'll be happy to assist you.

🌍 The moment of truth is here! In 2023, over 50 Croatian participants contributed to a BOLD Europe through action and debate. We organized 7 fireside chats, participated in a panel discussion on monetary policy and financial stability on the main stage of the Forum, and brought many participants together during our Croatian networking dinner. The need for active engagement, however, is now stronger than ever: 2024 is shaping up to be a crucial year for the future of Europe. This is why The European Forum Alpbach unveiled its new theme for 2024 - The Moment of Truth. As key choices loom, Club Alpbach Croatia is ready to contribute to the developing discussion which will shape the future of our continent. Let's embark on this journey together, navigating the "Moment of Truth" with conviction, collaboration, and a shared commitment to shaping a brighter future.

At this year's STEP Europe Conference you will hear from key speakers from across the continent discussing topics relevant to this region and considering jurisdictional perspectives. Book now: https://lnkd.in/eftitm3J #STEPEvents #STEPEurope
