We are delighted to announce the third international forum “Doing Business in Africa – Opportunities in International Education and Training” held by the Africa Australia Association (AAA). The Conference will be held:

16th 17th October, 2014 – Victoria University City Convention Centre, Melbourne 

This two day program will provide an intimate setting for high level executives and key stakeholders to discuss opportunities and strategies for enhancing Africa-Australia relationships in education, training and related industries.

International education is Australia’s 4th largest export industry. According to the 2013 report of the International Education Advisory Council (IEAC), Australia—Educating Globally, “Australia’s international education activities generate over $15 billion of export income annually and this revenue supports more than 100,000 jobs.”

This market is expected to increase by 30 per cent by 2020, and there is “additional potential to expand the internationalisation of [Australia’s] education sector through outgoing student flows and through online and offshore provision.”

The purpose of the 2014 AAA Forum is to develop prosperous relations between Africa and Australia that enhance business and life opportunities. The AAA aspires to achieve this by generating strong partnerships between Australian and African communities within the corporate, industry, academic and public sectors.

This international forum will attract high-level executives and decision-makers including CEOs, higher education sector professionals, business developers, entrepreneurs, potential investors, fund managers, technical colleges, government representatives from a diverse range of industries including, education, infrastructure, engineering, finance, mining, agriculture and health.

For information on registration details, currency, climate, transfers etc., please refer to AAA’s website.
