A recent UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific report highlights that Australia attracted the largest volume of greenfield foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows in the Asia-Pacific region in 2024.
This represented a 52% increase compared to the previous year.
According to Austrade, Australia’s fundamentals make it a prime destination for climate investing. These include the nation’s abundant and diverse natural resources, stable economic performance, and position as a trusted energy partner in the region.
New industries offer major economic and emissions-reduction opportunities. However, these require capital, technology and skills to be brought together, to realise their potential and meet growing global demand.
Austrade works to attract investment and support Australian exporters to develop new markets in sectors that make a positive impact on climate action.
Austrade’s trade and investment advisors, in over 100 offices around the world and in Australia, support businesses to unlock opportunities with their local knowledge, commercial insights and trusted relationships with decision-makers.
