German Australian Business Council Board Members, The Hon. André Haermeyer and Sabine Pittrof attended the EU-Australia Senior Leaders Forum in Brussels. Sponsored by the EU and supported by the Australian government, the Forum brought together European and Australian leaders to discuss a wide range of topics concerning today’s world, ranging from geo-political challenges to digitalisation, environment and the proposed Free Trade Agreement between the EU and Australia. The Forum provided an excellent opportunity for leaders from both continents to exchange information and learn from each other’s experience.
