Senator the Hon Don Farrell, Minister for Trade and Tourism

For ten years, the India Australia Business & Community Alliance (IABCA) has celebrated leaders working to advance the Australia-India relationship. The IABCA and Awards shines a light on the innovation and entrepreneurship of individuals and businesses and their outstanding efforts to strengthen our people-to-people links with India.

​

Australia and India are close economic partners, and we cannot talk about the future of the Australian economy without talking about India. India is on track to be the world’s third largest economy by 2030, and is already our fourth largest export market. It’s safe to say that trade with India is shaping up to be a big win for Australia, and our free trade agreement is unlocking more opportunity for our exporters in this dynamic market.

​

I look forward to celebrating our achievements, and working together to take Australia’s trade and investment relationship with India to new heights.
