UK Connect is a collaboration programme that will see a delegation of 10 UK producers with market-ready projects in development and four UK international sales companies travel to Australia to be matched with selected Australian producers to explore co-production, collaboration and export opportunities. By attending a three-day industry event the UK participants will get in-depth insights into the Australian market and will have ample opportunities to network with Australian industry.
