Latitudes of Opportunity is a one-day forum to shape the future of Australia-Latin America engagement at a time of profound geopolitical change.
The forum will convene influential leaders from Australia and Latin America to unpack the emerging opportunities, confront shared challenges, set policy priorities and mobilise strategic actions to drive sustainable economic growth.
With the rise of the Global South and the energy transition imperative, Australia and Latin America share unique similarities that make our regions ripe for strong investment and collaboration. Both Australia and Latin America possess rich endowments in land, renewable energy inputs, agrifood, and minerals, as well as a shared First Nations heritage. These commonalities, combined with our historically solid trade and investment base, growing innovation linkages, technology cooperation, and robust education exchange, signal untapped potential and strategic opportunities that neither region can fully unlock alone.
Recognising the strategic importance of both regions to each other, this forum will act as a catalyst for collaboration, innovation, and future growth.
