A delegation of Australian exporters, project proponents and investors will travel to Türkiye this week on a business mission to connect with international buyers, investors and partners as part of Australia’s COP31 engagement.
The mission, led by Australian Industry Group in partnership with the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade), will run from 12 to 19 November.
The Government's $55 million Accessing New Markets Initiative (ANMI) is supporting the mission that will put Australian businesses and investment-ready projects directly in front of global capital, customers and partners.
The 26 businesses participating on the delegation support more than 6,000 jobs in Australia and around the world.
Delegates will showcase export-ready solutions that can help international partners achieve their decarbonisation and sustainability objectives, alongside investment-ready projects in renewable energy, low-carbon fuels, green metals and industrial decarbonisation seeking global capital and strategic partners.
Australia's abundant solar and wind resources, critical minerals and legislated emissions targets provide investors long-term certainty and have made Australia the world's number one market for renewable energy investment, according to S&P Global.
On 16 November, Australian Industry Group and Austrade will launch the Australian Government's Green Economy Directory at the Australian Pavilion.
Featuring more than 160 Australian exporters, the Directory is Australia's showcase of green economy capability, making it easier for international buyers and commercial partners to connect with Australian businesses.

Quotes attributable to Australian Industry Group Chief Executive Innes Willox:
"Australian businesses are heading to COP31 to open new export markets, win customers and connect with investors and partners for the green economy solutions they are already delivering.
"Australia has world-class capability in this space, but it isn't always visible internationally. This mission is about raising that profile and opening doors to new markets that our businesses can build on long after COP31.
"The Directory gives the world a practical shopfront for Australian green economy businesses, well beyond the delegates in Antalya.
"The transition is a major commercial opportunity, and Australian businesses are ready to compete for it on the world stage."
Quotes attributable to Austrade General Manager, Investment Peter Horn:
"The Team Australia Business Mission connects Australian businesses with international buyers, and investment-ready projects with global capital, helping convert climate ambition into tangible trade, investment and partnership outcomes.
