PNG’s flagship investment promotion event, the 2024 PNG Investment Week held in Sydney in early December, is already tracking for a record attendance, with last year’s record figure of 1,300 delegates already exceeded with a month to go.
The event, which takes place from December 6th to 11th in Sydney Australia, will provide a platform for PNG business, International Investors, and Governments from PNG, Australia, New Zealand, and neighboring countries to engage on issues relating to promoting investment and trade between PNG and its international partners.
President of PNG Chamber of Resources & Energy (PNG CORE), Anthony Smaré was extremely pleased with the high number of registered delegates, who represent a cross-section of the economy.
“We made a deliberate decision to reframe the traditional and very successful PNG Minerals and Energy Investment Conference into a PNG Investment Week, made up of a number of various events over the week in Sydney, to use the strength of our resources and energy sector to drive investment into other sectors of the PNG economy and to address key issues that impact investment and trade generally.”
“We are rewarded with the numbers we are seeing in already exceeding last year’s registration numbers with a month to go. I am hoping to exceed 2,000 attendees, and the cross section of speakers and attendees is more diverse and international than previously seen for this event.”
“These delegates are not only from the mineral resources and energy sectors, but also include the renewables, technology, communications, financial services, agriculture and fisheries and attendees from over 20 countries.”
“From an investment standpoint, this event provides the one true opportunity for serious investors to engage meaningfully with government, regulators, and current participants in the economy – this is where all the decision makers gather in one place at the one time.”
“I strongly encourage anyone that has investment and trade ties with PNG, or are interested in investing in PNG, to attend, and network with the business community and government present.”
Delegate registration is still open, and is available at www.pnginvestmentweek.com.pg
