The International Business Council supports members in their pursuit to international success.

The IBC has direct connections in many Southeast Asian countries, and where we don’t yet have direct connections, we have the ability to work through Chambers of Commerce in nearly every country in the world.

Additionally, the IBC works with other associations and DFAT ensuring a positive, comprehensive, experience.

It is nearly always our advice to work with others when establishing yourself in a new market. The IBC is a great platform to work with other trade-oriented businesses.  It is important to remember that filling an international market demand is most often harder than finding the market in the first place.

Trade Missions are an important part of our remit.  We work closely with the Northern Territory Government to ensure a comprehensive approach to exploring new markets together.
