The stage is set for the 41st Australia Papua New Guinea Business Forum & Trade Expo, taking place in Brisbane from 13 to 15 May –coinciding with the city’s highly anticipated NRL Magic Round, which will bring added energy and visitors to the city.
Strong registrations from across Australia and Papua New Guinea have reinforced the Forum’s position as the leading platform for bilateral business engagement. Delegates from government, industry and the investment community are expected to converge for three days of discussion, networking and deal-making centred on opportunities in Papua New Guinea’s evolving economy.
The program covers key sectors including energy, infrastructure, agriculture, telecommunications and SMEs. With keynote addresses, panel discussions and targeted sessions, the Forum is designed to provide practical insights into where growth is taking place and how businesses can engage.
Running alongside the Forum, the Trade Expo is shaping up as a major drawcard, with a strong lineup of exhibitors showcasing capabilities across the PNG market. Delegates are encouraged to spend time at the Expo, which offers valuable opportunities to connect, explore partnerships and understand on-the-ground activity.
With the delegate list continuing to grow until the very last day, participants are encouraged to plan meetings in advance to make the most of their time in Brisbane.
As the city prepares for a week that combines business engagement with the excitement of Magic Round, the message is clear: the conversations shaping the next phase of Australia-Papua New Guinea business are about to begin.
