SYD | Successful Transformation through Partnership

As part of the German delegation, Germany Trade & Invest (GTAI) together with the German-Australian Chamber of Commerce (AHK Australien) is showcasing German expertise, technology and innovation in an insightful mining symposium.

The symposium brings together high-level representatives from German federal and state institutions, industry leaders, academia, and Australian stakeholders to discuss coal phase-out, mine rehabilitation, and regional transformation.
Drawing on Germany’s long-standing experience in post-mining transformation, the event provides a platform to exchange insights, best practices, and partnership opportunities relevant to Australia’s current and future transformation challenges.

The program combines strategic perspectives, practical implementation experience, and forward-looking approaches for developing new industries and sustainable value creation in former mining regions.
