ASBC/F has formalised four standing committees, each co-chaired by senior executives from both countries, to move bilateral trade from ad hoc introductions to structured, accountable commercial outcomes.
As the peak bilateral business body, the organisation is built on formal agreements with key Saudi government institutions and strengthened by deep networks across both markets. This unique positioning enables direct access, credible engagement, and meaningful commercial pathways for businesses operating between Australia and Saudi Arabia.
ASBC/F has engaged Saudi Ministers, the private sector, sovereign investment institutions, and the Federation of Saudi Chambers. When members need the right door opened, we have the access to open it.
Full committees convene quarterly, alternating between Australia and Saudi Arabia. Strategic direction is set and opportunities tabled.
Each committee leads one formal bilateral trade mission per year, coordinated with Austrade and MISA, with government meetings and matchmaking.
The ASBC/F Sectoral Committees are industry-focused groups that bring together business leaders, government stakeholders, subject matter experts, and members to strengthen Australia–Saudi collaboration across priority sectors. They provide strategic insights, facilitate partnerships, and help identify emerging opportunities aligned with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and Australia’s economic strengths.
