UK Maritime Trade Mission to Australia - May 2022

The UK pavilion is now fully subscribed, but there are still spaces on the UK trade mission with partial funding available. This will cover Indo-Pacific, and then visit Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. There will be engagement with State governments, visits to the BAE Systems Osborne shipyard and ASC Pty submarine yard, engagement with industry, and business-business matching. It really is an exciting programme – and the State Governments are pulling out all the stops.
The eleven day programme promises a wide range of events including the renowned Indo Pacific trade show.
