Minister for Industry and Science Ed Husic will promote Australia as an advanced and reliable commercial, science and technology partner during a visit to the United States from 25 January to 2 February.
The US is Australiaโs third largest export market and the largest source of investment in Australia.
โThe Australian Government works closely with the US to address supply chain challenges, explore investment opportunities and navigate the global transition to using clean energy,โ Minister Husic said.
โAs we continue to battle global challenges including climate change and the ongoing disruptive impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and war in Ukraine, it is more important than ever to reinforce our partnership with the US to support a prosperous manufacturing sector and resilient supply chains.
โIโm looking forward to meeting key industry stakeholders and developing partnerships to advance Australiaโs world-leading science capabilities and cutting-edge technological know-how.โ
