International Business
The Canberra Business Chamber aims to provide Canberra businesses with access to skills training, export-support information, market intelligence, local (ACT Region) export-related networks and connections to stakeholders in key markets. We also issue Certificates of Origin and other export documentation
International Business Engagement Program
Supported by ACT Government, this program serves as a resource for businesses navigating the intricacies of international trade. Acting as a central point of contact, the Chamber harnesses its extensive network of local businesses and diplomatic missions to provide invaluable support to those currently involved in or contemplating international trade ventures.
Through strategic collaborations with ACT and Federal government trade support programs such as TradeStart and the Canberra Innovation Network, we facilitate access to tailored resources to meet the needs of business. Additionally, our information seminars, workshops, and the annual Diplomatic Business Connections Gala Dinner serve as platforms for promoting awareness and fostering knowledge sharing within the local exporting community.
