Ines Liu Joins the “Women Leaders – Driving Business with China” Forum in Victoria

On December 3, 2024, Ines Liu, Head of the Australian Desk at Dezan Shira & Associates, attended the Women Leaders – Driving Business with China Forum, an event organized by ACBC Victoria and Global Victoria, and graciously hosted at Government House by Her Excellency, Professor the Honourable Margaret Gardner AC, Governor of Victoria. The forum brought together 100 female leaders and professionals from diverse sectors to discuss opportunities and strategies for engaging with the Chinese market.

Highlights from the event

The attendees gathered in the State Drawing Room, where Her Excellency addressed the audience, speaking on the significance of strong trade relationships with China. She reflected on the history of Chinese delegations to Victoria, dating back to the late 1800s, and emphasized the importance of these enduring ties.

Following the Governor’s remarks, a thought-provoking panel discussion explored essential success factors for the Chinese market, including:

• Cultural understanding and sensitivity
• Long-term strategic planning
• Effective use of local networks

The panelists also shared personal insights into leadership qualities necessary for success and invited audience participation during a Q&A session, fostering a lively and engaging dialogue.
