ANNUAL SUMMITS
The Sino-Australasian Entrepreneurs Summit (SAES) facilitates learning and trust-building among business leaders from the two regions. We do so by hosting a combination of public dialogues and private meetings.
Once a year, we arrange for approximately 60 chairpersons and senior executives of leading Chinese companies to visit Australia, to engage with their Australasian peers. Furthermore, we also run several smaller programmes throughout the year.
SAES has been held three times since its inauguration in 2017, organised by the Sino-International Entrepreneurs Federation (SIEF) with the support of like-minded partners.
