Melbourne, Australia – September 16, 2025 – Cloudstaff, a leader in offshoring and nearshoring solutions, proudly supported the Australian-New Zealand Chamber of Commerce Philippines (ANZCHAM) Roadshow 2025. Held from September 2–7 across Melbourne and Brisbane, the roadshow showcased valuable opportunities to deepen trade and investment links between Australia and the Philippines by focusing on strategic partnerships, workforce readiness, and infrastructure development.
Driving Partnerships That Matter
The ANZCHAM Philippines-organized event brought together AU and PH organizations, including Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade), Trade and Investment Queensland (TIQ), Australian business chambers (Business Chamber Queensland), the Philippine Board of Investments (BOI), and other Investment Promotion Agencies (IPAs) such as the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) and the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA) . The presence of the Hon. Don Farrell, Australia’s Minister for Trade and Tourism, reaffirmed strong government support for growing bilateral trade and investment.
Cloudstaff delegates Suzie Wing, Strategic Partner Manager – Global Programs, and Gregory Ryan, Chief of Global Channels and Ecosystems, attended both the Melbourne and Brisbane sessions.
Highlights from Melbourne and Brisbane
The discussions underscored the Philippines’ alignment with Australia’s Southeast Asia Economic Strategy to 2040. Philippine senior officials including BOI Industry Development Services (IDS) Executive Director Ma. Corazon Halili-Dichosa and International Investments Promotions Service (IIPS) Director Lanie Dormiendo, led a series of investment briefings themed “Why Philippines?”, held alongside Business Expos and CEO Roundtable Meetings. Key takeaways include:
- Infrastructure and workforce readiness boost the Philippines’ competitiveness.
- Cross-sector partnerships drive sustainable growth.
- Collaboration across borders transforms opportunity into market success.
Wing summed it up: “From the CEO Roundtable to business briefings and expo, the message was clear — strategic partnerships between business, government, and industry are the foundation for long-term success.”
Ryan added, “Our role is to enable Australian and New Zealand companies to confidently tap into the Philippines’ talent pool while focusing on their core business growth.
