2022 Forum

The 14th Australia New Zealand Leadership Forum (ANZLF) took place in Sydney on 7-8 July 2022.  The central theme was the great acceleration of trends arising from the pandemic and how Australia and New Zealand can emerge from global disruptions stronger together.

The ANZLF thanks our generous sponsors without whom it would not have been possible to hold this meeting and the Trans-Tasman Innovation and Growth Awards.

The Forum, which was attended by 15 Ministers and over 300 business leaders and officials from Australia and New Zealand, concluded with strengthened trans-Tasman commitments in multiple fields including the digital economy, supply chain resiliency, innovation and science, tourism, infrastructure, health technology, indigenous business, climate change, and labour/skill shortages.  https://www.anzlf.org/trans_tasman_leaders_lay_path_for_strengthened_partnership_backed_with_new_initiatives

A highlight of the event was the ANZLF Celebration Dinner on 7 July attended by the Prime Ministers of Australia and New Zealand.  The Hon Anthony Albanese MP and Rt Hon Jacinda Ardern congratulated the four companies which won the Trans-Tasman Innovation & Growth Awards for their innovative solutions to address mental health, microbial contamination, toxin-free cleaning products and making data more accessible, usable and shareable for communities. 

Congratulations to the four winners:
