UK companies will have the opportunity to arrange 1-2-1 meetings with Australian stakeholders from week 2 onwards using an online business matching platform, to discuss future collaboration and potential opportunities. These 1-2-1 meetings will be subject to acceptance by the Australian stakeholders. It will be the responsibility of the UK companies to increase their visibility on the platform by completing their profiles and making themselves available for the meetings during this part of the mission.
