Sponsorship
The Aus–India relationship is at a generational
inflection point.
Four data points that explain why 2026 is the year to be in the room — and why the AIBC platform is where Australian and Indian decision-makers actually meet.
Economic Framework Agreement
The Australia–India Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (ECTA) is delivering results — and the 2026 program is the ideal platform to communicate those outcomes to industry.
CECA Negotiations Underway
The Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA) negotiations make 2026 a pivotal year for bilateral engagement. AIBC events provide a structured industry voice to this process.
Critical Sectors, Real Connections
AIBC has turned bilateral interest into real business opportunities across critical minerals, clean energy, defence, advanced manufacturing, education and digital infrastructure.
Migration & People-to-People
916K+ Indian-born residents make Australia home — the fastest-growing diaspora, second largest community and a living bilateral bridge that AIBC celebrates and activates across both nations.
Key Growth Sectors
Australia's peak bilateral business body.
Forty years of bilateral leadership. One defining sponsorship opportunity. AIBC is the only national organisation representing the full spectrum of Aus–India bilateral business.
