French-Australian Chamber of Commerce & Industry (FACCI) "National Business Forum: “Shaping attractive cities”. (6th Edition)

6th Edition of the National Business Forum : “Shaping attractive cities”.

More than ever before, Australia’s long-term prosperity is linked to the performance of its cities. This trend is not unique to Australia, many countries around the world are also rapidly urbanising, and taking advantage of socio-economic opportunities that growing cities can bring.

The French-Australian Chamber of Commerce & Industry (FACCI) has re-engineered the 6th Edition of the National Business Forum into a wider framework, opening the way to a new breed of physical and virtual events. This year, FACCI will host from the 10th of November to 13th November a series of thought leadership initiatives and multi-channel events on the topic “Shaping attractive cities”.

More than ever before, Australia & New Zealand’s long-term prosperity is linked to the performance of its cities. The objective of the Business Days, is as always, to stimulate conversations and exchange views and best practices between France, Australia and New Zealand.

Cities are increasingly the generators of wealth, where a growing number of citizens choose to live, and businesses choose to locate.

Employment/workplace, urbanization planning and infrastructures, commerce and retail, mobility and transportation, social hub and health services, clean energy supply: attractive and performing cities are definitely on the economic and political agenda, considered as an instrumental and sustainable growth driver. There is also a recognition that urban policies need to be revisited in a post COVID-19 era to address future pandemic risks, foster economic growth and social inclusion in a sustainable manner.

The event, during which we will bring together key speakers from government, senior academic circles, pioneering French, ANZ and other international companies is once again one of the focal points of the year.  It will showcase some of the best innovative practices and highlight new solutions. 

The event will be hosted on the innovative vFAIRS platform. This will help us deliver a qualitative and intuitive experience to all the participants as they will be immersed in a virtual exhibition centre with many features as if you were in a physical event. Attendees can enter in the lobby and navigate through the event passing by interactive booths, going into the Auditorium or having a Chat with other attendees, speakers or exhibitors.

Organized under the patronage of His Excellency Mr. Christophe Penot, Ambassador of France to Australia, this series of panel discussions, keynotes and Q&As will show the French-ANZ business community’s crucial contribution on this important topic.

We would very much welcome your involvement in this unique event.
Register your interest and contribute to the conversation at our 2020 French-ANZ Business Days by September 2020.
