Destination Australia 

Australia is a highly sought after destination by potential Chinese immigrants. With trade ministers from all 34 Chinese provinces represented at CIFIT it will be a tremendous opportunity to connect with those interested in Australia.  During the 2015 expo, there was a lot of interest from visitors to the ABF Australian Pavilion, exploring business opportunities and considering Australia’s enviable lifestyle.

Business Matching

A key benefit for delegates and exhibitors is the business matching via the CIFIT platform, enabling targeting of relevant contacts to for potential suppliers, distributors, business partners and for those seeking access to Chinese investors. Further, the Fujian government and Chamber of Commerce, who recently visited ABF Sydney and Melbourne, can also provide direct introductions.
