Ø Eleanor Mak, President Australia-ASEAN Business Council, Co-founder and MD Venturenauts Why ASEAN Asia Pacific is the global growth centre for the next 20 years, led by China, India and ASEAN. ASEAN is now a globally connected economic powerhouse, strategically located at the centre of the Asian growth engine between China and India. Half of the world’s population lives within a 5 hour flight from ASEAN.

The Opportunity The speed of business is accelerating, and companies are constantly looking for innovations and disruptions that make a difference. Australian and ASEAN entrepreneurs and investors have traditionally looked to the usual US, Europe and Japan markets. But Australia and ASEAN are close neighbours with unique complementarities. For example, ASEAN could be a testing ground for entry to wider Asian markets like China, and Australia for entry into other western countries like US and Europe.
