Pacific Islands Investment Summit a hit
Delegates overwhelmingly positive about first investment summit for the region
Judging by the feedback the organisers received from the delegates who attended, the inaugural Pacific Islands Investment Summit in Sydney on 12 and 13 August was a resounding success.
About 150 delegates from across the region gathered for two days in Sydney's Darling Harbour to receive a series of briefings from Governments, existing investors and business experts.
Here are some of the comments made to the organisers:
- 'Enjoyed the Summit and felt that it was a very good first effort with many of the speakers entertaining and informative.'
- 'Enjoyed the calibre of speakers and top level attendees. Great representation of all regions in Pacific Islands.'
- 'Congratulations on the success of the Investment Summit. The feedback I received suggested strong demand for a follow on next year.'
- 'The summit has been very productive and informative.'
- 'Enjoyed the availability of valuable information as well as the opportunity to network with potential business partners.'
- 'It provided the opportunity for us to review the perceptions vs the realities and the main issues affecting investment.'
- 'Very useful, especially for networking.'
- 'It was an honor and great opportunity to participate and make contacts at the Summit.'
'The summit was a great success, providing an ideal forum to bring together multiple business perspectives and showcase the new investment opportunities developing across the Pacific Islands region,' our co-host Caleb Jarvis, Trade Commissioner at Pacific Islands Trade & Invest, told us. 'We look forward to hosting the event next year and continuing to connect Australian, New Zealand and Pacific Island investors with the right people and partners across the region.'
