December 2021 ALABC E-Newsletter

Dear Members and Friends,

On behalf of the Board of Directors of ALABC, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our last newsletter of the year 2021 and send you our best wishes for the festive season and a happy new year 2022.

We had a very successful 2021 at ALABC as we were able to keep adding value to our members and fulfil our mission and vision, despite some adverse conditions due to the global health crisis.

We were extremely pleased with the support we have received from our members and sponsors, that kept renewing their commitment to the Latin American region. We are also very grateful to the Australian Federal Government and we feel very proud of our partnerships with Global Victoria, Trade and Investment Queensland and more recently with Investment NSW.

Chief Executive Officer

Australia-Latin America Business Council

For 2022, we will be starting activities early in the new year with our traditional dinners, workshops, conferences and webinars. I invite you to check our calendar of upcoming events and explore the new opportunities we offer to partner with ALABC. We will soon re-launch the Latin American Business Excellence Award competition and our very successful Soft-Landing Program for Latin American companies wanting to grow their business presence in Australia. We will continue improving our alliances with like-minded organisations based in Latin America, as we have done with Chile, Peru, Mexico, Central America and Mercosur. If you are interested in joining these binational advisory groups, please do so by following the instructions here. 

ALABC is currently testing new digital platforms to facilitate the business connections between our members and with key contacts and stakeholders. These will be embedded in our website that is also going through an optimisation process.

I would like to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday period. We hope that 2022 brings more health and recovery as we strive towards growing the business links between Australia and Latin America. I look forward to connecting with you all in the new year.
