Breakfast Business Forum with ANZHAM and MBC

The Breakfast Business Forum, co-hosted by the Australian-New Zealand Chamber of Commerce (ANZCHAM) and Makati Business Club (MBC), was one of the highlights of the recently concluded Australian Business Mission to the Philippines. The investment mission brought together a high-level delegation of 14 prominent Australian institutional investors, and infrastructure and agribusiness firms.

The breakfast forum included keynote speeches and a panel session with Business Champion for the Philippines and Macquarie Group CEO, Shemara Wikramanayake, and Australian Ambassador to the Philippines, H.E HK Yu on Australia and the Philippines’ trade and investment relationship and priorities.

During the forum, H.E. HK Yu stated that “this mission is more than a commercial venture. We’re not just investing in business deals; we’re investing in our shared future.” The Ambassador commended the forum as a testament to the strong partnership between Australia and the Philippines, emphasizing that creating awareness through delegations to the Philippines is vital for unlocking increased investments, collaborative opportunities, and continued economic success.
