Guest Speaker: Gönül Serbest Commissioner for Victoria (Australia) to Europe, Middle East, Türkiye and Africa
Victoria, one of Australia’s most dynamic economic powerhouses, is home to Melbourne, consistently ranked among the world’s most livable cities and often described as Australia’s cultural and innovation capital. Victoria is also home to world-class events like the Australian Open and a thriving sports tech ecosystem, making it a natural partner for the Netherlands’ strong sporting culture and innovation in performance and infrastructure. Fun fact: Melbourne has the largest tram network in the world, while the Port of Melbourne is Australia’s busiest container port, making logistics and supply chain collaboration with the Netherlands a particularly strong match. Both regions also share a global outlook, advanced agritech ecosystems, and a strong focus on sustainable water management, an area where Dutch expertise is world-leading and increasingly relevant for Australia.
