IABCA GLOBAL LEADERS FORUM
2021 Program - Diaspora Diplomacy
​
The 2021 IABCA Global Leaders Forum supported by Investment NSW focused on Business Diaspora Diplomacy.
​
This exciting new initiative was a sell out event and navigated Australia’s relationship with India through our people-to-people links. Featuring three engaging panel sessions across Food & Agribusiness, STEM and Soft Power.
​
The IABCA Global Leaders Forum highlighted roadmaps for continued growth across the people-to-people, economic and institutional engagements that bind India and Australia through our growing Alumni.
​
The IABCA Forum shaped perceptions by showcasing the diversity and talent of our business diaspora and offered audiences continued engagement and updates across various sectors. Patrons also had the opportunity to see an innovative demonstration of NASA's 2011 Curiosity Mars Rover at the IABCA Forum 2021.

'Our growing people to people links – may over time prove to be the most significant asset of all.' Peter Varghese AO, IES 2035​
