Australian Cities/State Promotion Session

Australia Cities / State Promotion Session is an important sub-forum under the grand event— Australasia China Cities Summit & Business Forum (ACCS&ACBF). It is special session set up to provide opportunities for Australian cities, states, regional governments and organizations to show their unique charm and potential of development to China and the rest of the world’s investors thus to attract more business.

This promotion session will be an excellent platform for each city in Australia to show their best sides to the world and to exchange with others. It could also be expected that more people will come to the cities for travelling, studying, or for investment and business. With the propaganda and popularization of cities / states on the promotion session, the marvelous cities / states of Australia are no longer a mere industrial contractor on project cooperation. Instead, cooperation projects between Chinese cities and Australian cities turn to more extensive fields such as finance and insurance, R&D, marketing, logistics, trade, tourism, and real estate.

It can also be a perfect chance for Australian cities to build friendship with Chinese cities and cities in other countries. Sister cities and friendship cities are both important forms of promoting the exchanges and cooperation in various fields.
