The ACT Government through Invest Canberra is seeking expressions of interest from ACT companies wishing to join a business focused visit by the ACT Chief Minister to Shenzhen, China proposed for 22 - 24 June 2015. The Chief Minister will also visit Singapore from 21 - 22 June 2015 for a series of business related engagements.
This expression of interest process aims to gauge the level of interest from individual ACT businesses to participate in the delegation and the likely level of in-market support required for programming around a visit.

- ICT
- e-government
- Services to government
- Healthcare
- Sport Science services
- Professional Services
The ACT Government will offer limited financial support for company participation. Companies that meet the ACT Trade Connect Program criteria will also be able to access funding support for travel and accommodation to a maximum of $5,000 on a dollar for dollar basis.
