Welcoming Investment
Our pavilion at World Expo 2005 Aichi provides a great opportunity to discover the wealth of opportunities Australia offers for Japanese business. I welcome you to the pavilion, and to this publication that highlights our world-class industry capabilities and our unique cultural and geographic advantages.
Trade and investment links between our two nations have never been stronger. Whether it’s buying produce, establishing a business base, or using research in products that improve lifestyles or save lives, Japanese companies from a variety of industries have discovered the advantages Australia has to offer.
World’s most resilient economy
Last year, Australia was ranked the most resilient economy in the world for the third year in succession. We have a highly skilled and multicultural workforce. In fact, Australia has the most multilingual workforce in the Asia Pacific. We are cost competitive, with excellent IT and R&D infrastructure. We have an open and efficient regulatory environment and we share time zones with major Asian markets, making it easy to do business with our Asian neighbours.
These advantages are central to Australia’s impressive reputation as an investment destination.
