Industry Experts Panel

We are pleased to introduce the Industry Experts Panel —a newly established advisory group designed to provide specialist knowledge and strategic guidance to the Board and Industry Groups of the Australia-Korea Business Council (AKBC).

 

Comprising leading experts across key sectors, the panel will support AKBC’s mission to enhance bilateral trade, investment, and mutual understanding between Australia and Korea. By offering industry insights and policy recommendations, the panel will play a crucial role in strengthening commercial ties and identifying emerging opportunities for our members.
