On 21 October 2025, Australian Ambassador H.E. Marc Innes-Brown PSM, together with ANZCHAM, hosted an Appreciation Evening dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the delegates, sponsors, and government partners who took part in the recent ANZCHAM Australia Roadshow 2025, and the growing business ties between Australia and the Philippines. ANZCHAM’s key partners were also in attendance, further demonstrating the strong network of collaboration that continues to drive the Chamber’s initiatives forward.
Held at the Australian Ambassador’s Residence, the evening served as both a celebration of the mission’s success and a reaffirmation of the shared commitment to strengthen bilateral trade and investment.
Ambassador Innes-Brown commended ANZCHAM’s leadership and dynamism, emphasizing that such missions are not just about meetings, but about “building bridges that connect entrepreneurs, policymakers, and investors.”
ANZCHAM President Benj Romualdez also expressed gratitude to the delegation and partners, noting that the evening was an opportunity to recognize everyone’s efforts in advancing bilateral trade and investment. Guided by the Southeast Asia Economic Strategy to 2040, Romualdez shared that ANZCHAM’s business missions have been instrumental in promoting the Philippines as a competitive investment destination for Australian companies.
The event also featured insights from mission sponsors and delegates, including iQor, Cloudstaff, DysrupIT, Genfinity, Philippine Airlines, TIEZA–TEZ Management Sector, and Austrade, and recognized the Philippine Board of Investments (BOI) and the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA), whose support has been instrumental in opening new opportunities between the two nations.
Special thanks to ConnectOS and Eastern Communications for making the evening possible, and to the Australian Embassy in Manila for hosting a celebration that perfectly captured the spirit of partnership, appreciation, and shared growth.
ANZCHAM remains committed to deepening Australia–Philippines business collaboration by creating more avenues for partnership, knowledge exchange, and sustainable growth across key sectors.
