The French-Australian Chamber of Commerce ​​Queensland team was delighted to welcome a Blue Economy Delegation from France and New Caledonia to Brisbane on Wednesday 22 March 2023. A private cocktail reception was held at the offices of our Corporate member Holding Redlich.


The delegation led by Business France Australia was remarkably diverse and strong, with companies working in various fields ranging from investment and consulting to research institutes along with engineering and high-tech monitoring firms. Pôle Mer Bretagne Atlantique and Pôle Mer Méditerranée who federate over 400 French SMEs were also represented. The discussion focused on fostering collaboration between French and Australian SMEs, Primes and Institutions, committed to the management and protection of the marine environment.


Thank you to our speakers: Alain Etchegaray, (Vice President of the Chamber and Honorary Consul of France for Queensland), Steve Burton and Jeanne Vallade (respectively Partner and Senior Associate at Holding Redlich), Stephanie Morley (Trade Commissioner for Business France), Philippe Monbet (General Manager of Pôle Mer) and Yves Lafoy (Official Representative of New Caledonia to Australia). Their speeches highlighted France's and Australia's shared interest and expertise in marine ecosystem surveillance and sustainable management.


Special thanks to Holding Redlich our host who has a deep history of serving clients in the clean and renewable energy space and has active clients in the blue economy. The delegates appreciated, in addition to French wines, the fact that Holding Redlich has French-speaking capabilities to serve French-speaking clients in Australia.

 

The event was highly informative, and attendees had also a chance to discuss the Australian business environment and gain insights on setting up operations in Australia.


We look forward to further collaborating with Business France, Pôle Mer and the French Embassy, along with Holding Redlich in the future.
