Export Lab: “Wonderful Indonesia” - Its time to do some serious business with our neighbour
Tuesday, 29 May 2012
Sydney
It is often said that Indonesia is important to Australia but with the exception of a few high-profile businesses, Australian businesses are continuing to overlook this important emerging market.
Indonesia has a large population with a growing economy (6.5% last year), making it a key prospect for companies in search of growth and high performance in emerging markets. However, like all emerging markets, the country presents a set of unique challenges and market characteristics.
At this event, a panel of experts and exporters will share with you practical insights and strategies for doing successful business in this growth market.
