With renewed momentum around the EU–Australia Free Trade Agreement, this is a timely moment for exporters to understand what these developments could mean for their European strategy. While negotiations have evolved over time, recent progress is bringing greater clarity around market access, trade conditions, and future opportunities between Australia and the European Union.

In this Exportia LAB session, we will be joined by our returning guest, Antonia Loncar, EU Affairs specialist, to unpack what the latest developments mean in practical terms for exporters. Rather than focusing on policy alone, we will explore how these changes may translate into real opportunities — and what companies should begin preparing for now.

This session will place particular focus on Australian exporters, looking at how the agreement may influence competitiveness, access to European markets, and long-term positioning. At the same time, the discussion will remain relevant for companies from other regions monitoring how evolving trade dynamics may impact doing business in Europe.

During the session, you will gain insights on:

• What the latest developments in the EU–Australia FTA could mean for exporters
• How changes in trade conditions may affect your competitiveness in Europe
• What Australian companies should start preparing for now
• How to position your business to benefit from emerging opportunities

This session is designed for CEOs, founders, and business leaders who want to stay ahead of key developments and align their European strategy with the evolving trade environment.
