We are now “Australia Japan Businesswomen’s Networking in NSW”

We are delighted to announce that we are going to connect and expand the Australia Japan Businesswomen’s Network to Australia-wide. We will be in charge of the Sydney chapter.

Natsuko Ogawa san in VIC and Ayumi have been discussing connecting existing Japanese women’s networks in major Australian cities so that members can support each other beyond the state borders. This initiative is supported by Australia Japan Business Council of Victoria and Australia Japan Business Corporation Committee.

Australia Japan Businesswomen’s Network (AJBWN) aims to empower businesswomen in the Australia-Japan business environment and create a nationwide network.

On 7th June 2023, the Sydney chapter of the AJBWN had a successful launch event at Ashurst Sydney office. The event was attended by women and men from various professional backgrounds, and everyone enjoyed networking with snacks from Japan. Positive energy filled the room!

We also welcomed new main members – Ms Azusa Weedon-Newstead and Emma Daly.

AJBWN is a great opportunity for professional and personal development!

Special thanks to the Australia Japan Business Co-operation Committee (AJBCC) for their support and Ashurst Sydney Office for providing the beautiful venue for this event.
