AusBiotech wins grant to develop Australian medtech directory for China
AusBiotech has been awarded a grant to develop a bilingual directory of Australian medical technology (devices and diagnostics) companies in Chinese/English to support business partnering and facilitate trade with China.
Grants to help Australian businesses expand their links in Asia have been awarded to 18 member-based organisations, under the Asian Business Engagement Plan program.
Minister for Trade and Investment Andrew Robb said the grants will help further open up key Asian markets for Australian businesses and organisations in areas such as agribusiness, science and innovation, and services covering tourism, education, professional services, engineering and the built environment.
“The Asian Business Engagement Plan will also assist Australian business to pursue opportunities created by the successful conclusion of bilateral trade agreements with both Korea and Japan - two of our biggest trading partners,” Robb said.
