Business environment in Australia

Australia has been actively engaged in regional forums such as the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Like Canada, they’re also a Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) member. Canadian companies should look to leverage these trade agreements, or explore partnerships with Australian firms, to capitalize on the abundant opportunities available in neighbouring markets. Export Development Canada (EDC) serves Canadian companies in Australia through our local representation in Sydney.
