Seize the opportunity
Southeast Asia is at the centre of global growth. The region is expected to be the world’s fourth largest economy by 2040. Its large and growing population is driving spending on products, services and experiences.
Southeast Asia includes:
- Philippines
- Singapore
- Thailand
- Timor-Leste
- Vietnam
It’s a great time to join other ambitious Australian businesses seeking new opportunities in the region. Demand for food, digital products, healthcare, education and training, and financial services is increasing. The region also needs critical minerals, technology and expertise to support its adoption of clean energy.
Trade goes both ways. Australian businesses looking to diversify and build resilience in their supply chains can look to Southeast Asia’s advanced manufacturing and tech sectors.
To power its economic growth, Southeast Asia seeks investment in several sectors. Investments in infrastructure and energy systems will be crucial in the region’s transition to net zero.
Australia and Southeast Asia’s futures are closely linked. By increasing two-way trade and investment, Australia and the region can advance their mutual prosperity and security.
To get a glimpse of tomorrow, Australia doesn't need to look far.
Southeast Asia is primed for prosperity - set to become the world's fourth largest economy by 2040.
It's why businesses from every corner of the globe are accelerating growth, strengthening their supply chains and investing into the region that includes: Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, The Philippines, Timor-Leste, and Vietnam.
Home to a young, educated population and growing middle class, it's a dynamic region, full of opportunity for Australian businesses.
With world-class manufacturing and cutting-edge technology.
In fact, all over Southeast Asia, industries from agri-food to education, health to digital tech, infrastructure to green energy are on a rising trajectory, reshaping the region's economy.
It's why ambitious Australian businesses are partnering with Southeast Asia today, to make the most of tomorrow.
