WELCOME TO SYDNEY – IT’S THE MEETING PLACE OF PEOPLE, OPINIONS AND IDEAS
The investment in infrastructure goes hand-in-hand with Sydney’s Global Talent Hub initiative, a unique partnership between New South Wales (NSW) State Government and the business-led Committee for Sydney. This project aims to deliver targeted, high-end information that will support delegates, businesses, institutions and individuals from all over the world who want to meet, connect, expand their business and research, or even relocate to the city. Key to the State’s broader strategy is to create a legacy from each international event that will benefit associations and delegates and, at the same time, build on the region’s economic growth and intellectual capital. “BESydney works hard to understand what’s important for event organisers. Strategy and relationships drive successful international events that deliver long-lasting legacies for all involved,” says Business Events Sydney (BESydney) CEO, Lyn Lewis-Smith. Delegates visiting Sydney are encouraged to extend their stays and engage with globally competitive businesses and
diverse NSW communities, and of course the broader Asia Pacific region on Australia’s doorstep. As Australia’s economic powerhouse, NSW has seen continuous stability and growth for more than two decades and accounts for nearly a third of the country’s GDP; significantly, its economy is now larger than many national economies in the Asia Pacific region. And as Australia’s largest city, Sydney alone represents a quarter of the nation’s economic activity. Investment, growth and innovation are flourishing in key business sectors such as financial, insurance and professional services, ICT and digital industries, and health, education and research. And the NSW Government and BESydney have partnered to successfully align future international association events in the city with these economic development priorities. “BESydney offers a unique multi-tiered approach that helps clients to connect both within Australia and globally, to create exceptional events and outcomes,” Lewis-Smith adds.
Sydney is Australia’s number one meeting and event destination. And its worldwide appeal in attracting major international association events is set to surge when Australia’s largest convention and exhibition facility opens in late 2016. The A$1.1 billion world-class International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney) is part of an extensive revitalisation of Darling Harbour to create a flagship convention, exhibition and entertainment hub on a prime waterfront location. This is just one of a host of major infrastructure projects underway designed to cement Sydney’s position as one of the world’s leading business event locations. Meet in Sydney and catch the wave of innovation, investment, optimism and new infrastructure that is driving the city forward as a global magnet for talent

ICC Sydney: showcase venue for world-class events
Destined to be one of the Asia Pacific’s premier business events precincts, and attracting world-class international events, the new A$1.1 billion ICC Sydney will open on Sydney’s central waterfront location of Darling Harbour as part of a mammoth regeneration project to create a vibrant cultural hub. The fully-integrated flagship venue, opening in late 2016, will offer convention facilities capable of collectively hosting more than 12,000 delegates, with the possibility of three concurrent events, and a total exhibition space of 35,000sqm, plus an external deck, bar and lounge of 5,000sqm, which boasts breathtaking waterfront views. With strong transport and accommodation links and easy connections to Australia’s largest central business district and higher education institutions, ICC Sydney will
incorporate the latest technology and flexible, multi-purpose spaces together with a striking contemporary design. Other facilities include a grand ballroom, red carpet theatre, 8,000sqm of meeting room space and an innovative fan-shaped theatre layout to bring host and audience closer. ICC Sydney is part of the extensive A$2.5 billion Darling Harbour Live urban transformation project, funded in partnership with the NSW Government. In a boost to Sydney’s global financial sector, BESydney has already secured the world-leading financial services conference Sibos 2018 (see page 5), one of 17 events confirmed so far for ICC Sydney with a combined estimated economic impact to NSW of almost A$145 million.

Professional services: strength in knowledge
NSW boasts valuable innovative, knowledge-based industries. The State’s economy is now one of the world’s leading service economies with more than 80 per cent of industry income generated from services. With strengths in finance and business services, professional services has been the third-largest industry in NSW for 10 years. In Sydney alone, financial, professional and business services now make a bigger contribution to Australia’s GDP than mining and agriculture combined, lending the city a cutting-edge competitiveness and productivity that is luring international talent to its shores. “Building on this wealth of intellectual capital is vital to Sydney and the region. Australia is an open economy, it’s an open minded country and it provides this extraordinary opportunity to interact at an educational level and a creative level,” says Alex Malley - CEO, Certified Practising Accountants Australia. “It’s got the mindset for collaboration, it’s got the mindset for growth.” Gail Kelly, CEO of Westpac, adds:“Sydney’s position as a key financial centre in the Asia Pacific continues to grow, spurred by major government investments into key infrastructure, such as the $6 billion Barangaroo development, and the Australian industry’s commitment to retaining one of the world’s most stable banking sectors.” The NSW professional services sector in particular is internationally competitive. Exports of professional services are growing, with expert firms providing advice and outsourcing services to a range of international companies in many industries. Unlocking the potential The Fintech opportunity for Sydney is the first research report to be published by the new Financial Services Knowledge Hub, established by the Committee for Sydney with the support of the NSW Government. It provides insights into the rapidly developing market for financial services technology, Fintech, and outlines actions to maximise the opportunities for Sydney. DOWNLOAD PDF

Finance: going global
Finance is a Sydney success story. The city is Australia’s commercial capital, and one of the best performing financial centres in Asia. Home to 60 of the 64 banks that operate in Australia, as well as the country’s key financial regulatory bodies, it is supported by world best practice financial and legal systems and a transparent regulatory environment. Financial services have made the most significant contribution to growth in NSW, and services exports have increased strongly in the last two years. Australia has the fourth largest pool of investment fund assets in the world, a huge success that has attracted many global funds management companies to Sydney. A major boost to Sydney’s global financial sector will be the city hosting Sibos 2018, the world’s most influential and largest financial services conference. Also, an ambitious infrastructure development is underway to create a world-leading, progressive financial services district at Barangaroo.
Sydney’s finance sector at a glance • One of the best performing financial centres in Asia Pacific • Head office to many of Australia’s leading industry associations, financial institutions and insurers • Head office to the nation’s key financial regulatory bodies, such as the Reserve Bank of Australia • Home to the Australian Securities Exchange • A growing, multi-lingual financial services workforce • 90 per cent of all banks operating in Australia are based in Sydney • Top five banks in China choose Sydney for their Australian headquarters
• Strong, transparent regulatory environment • Hedge fund management is a thriving sector
• Private equity and venture capital are leading industries • Customer and technical support centres in the NSW region.
Barangaroo: a financial district for the future The A$6 billion harbourfront regeneration project at Barangaroo will enhance Sydney’s status as a global financial centre. This progressive financial precinct – the world’s first carbon-neutral, zero waste Central Business District - will uniquely integrate commercial, event spaces, residential, retail, educational, civic, cultural and entertainment. The new hub for the city’s financial services is designed to rival the headquarters of Asia and an estimated 23,000 people are destined to work there.
Sibos 2018: a major win for the city The world’s financial heavyweights will be descending on Sydney in four years’ time for the leading global financial services conference, Sibos 2018, in what is a hugely significant events win for the country’s financial sector. Sibos 2018 will be held at Sydney’s new flagship convention facility, ICC Sydney - part of an extensive regeneration project of Darling Harbour (see page 3). Sven Bossu, Head of Sibos at SWIFT, said: “Business Events Sydney was instrumental in outlining what Sibos 2018 could achieve in Sydney. The team presented a highly co-ordinated city bid involving the government, the financial industry and the local community. We are pleased to bring Sibos back to the harbour city and look forward to working with the local community to deliver another high-quality Sibos event in the region.”

ICT & digital
Sydney: mapping out a future for Information and Communications Technology (ICT)
When Google invented Google Maps from its Sydney office, NSW showed it was firmly on the global ICT map. As the largest ICT industry in Australia, it’s one of the strengths of the NSW economy. And many of the global players basing their headquarters in Sydney include Microsoft, Google, IBM, Salesforce, Amazon Web Services and Oracle, Novell and Hewlett Packard. Sydney leads the way, home to nearly 40 per cent of the country’s creative and digital workforce, and more than 60 per cent of Australia’s ICT regional headquarters and operations centres. And, investment by ICT companies in NSW is bolstered by the region’s strong research and development capabilities. Scientists based in Sydney produced key Wi-Fi technology, and Australia’s ICT Research Centre of Excellence, NICTA, spin-off company Open Kernel Labs, produced software used in more than 1.5 billion mobile phones worldwide. “Sydney’s got a visionary culture and a feel to it, because it’s not tied up in a lot of old traditions, we’re able to meld different types of traditions and see how they work together and take them forward,” says Pia Winberg, CEO of Venus Shell Systems. “There’s no door that’s closed, there’s no idea that is forbidden, and so we can afford to be really creative and innovative, share those ideas here, get them knocked about with different peoples’ perspectives and come up with things that will really work in the future.”

Digital and creative media: a hotbed of world-class leading talent When it comes to innovation in digital media, NSW stands out. With leading media companies, creative talent, world-class visual effects, post-production and motion capture studios, it’s home to almost half of Australia’s film and television businesses and industry workforce. As in other global cities, Sydney has seen a considerable convergence of the ICT, creative and entertainment industries. And Inner Sydney has the highest concentration of creative digital businesses in Australia - film, video and TV production and distribution, publishing and printing, advertising, design, arts and recorded media. South of the CBD is Sydney’s start-up precinct, aimed at showcasing new products and services to an international audience, and to world leaders that come into Sydney. Developed in conjunction with the University of Technology Sydney and other key stakeholders, the hub encourages a diverse local economy, providing purpose-built, low-cost workspaces for start-up ventures and social initiatives in creative industries.

Technology: inspired solutions
Boeing looks to Australia for innovation
Australia is the place where Boeing, the world’s largest aerospace company, has made its largest investment outside the United States. During the past 10 years, Boeing has transferred an estimated A$100 million in technological know-how to Australia and invested more than A$500 million in plant equipment, training and research laboratories. Boeing Australia now has seven wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Innovation and technology are highly prized as keys to future economic growth in the NSW economy. NSW currently invests A$6 billion on research and development (R&D) every year. In fact, the R&D investment has trebled in 10 years, twice the OECD average. NSW has the largest research sector in Australia, with the country ranked seventh in the world for the quality of its research institutions by the World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Report 2012-13 . The NSW Government’s Innovation and Productivity Council acts to support and stimulate research and innovation in business, government and education and research sectors to increase productivity for the wider State economy. Significant work has been undertaken to align research investments with industry and economy-wide needs. The Council supports R&D in areas including life sciences, photonics, robotics and energy. Australia’s research institutions have achieved a solid international reputation for quality, and the NSW Government’s successful Tech Voucher Program aims to increase the transfer of knowledge from NSW’s research bodies to the business community.
Reasons why Boeing chose Australia: • Australia’s rigorous protection of intellectual property • The quality of Australian university graduates • The general business environment and Australia’s strong, resilient economy.
NSW industry: a ‘smart’ future ‘Smart industry’ brings together information, technology and invention to apply intelligence to all aspects of business. NSW is supporting the rise of smart industry as its economy diversifies together with its track record of innovation in industries such as biotechnology, ICT, renewable energy, aquaculture and digital media. An inspiring example is the research team at the University of New South Wales, spearheaded by ‘solar superman’ Martin Green, which could revolutionise the global energy industry. Their solar cell research has already had wide-reaching success thanks to their international links, which have turned Australian technological smarts into a manufacturing reality. “Australia also has one of the highest rates of patent applications for brilliant innovations in renewable energy and biotechnology, and is home to many inventions that we take for granted,” says Lewis-Smith. “Think the bionic ear, Wi-Fi, Google Maps, spray-on skin and the black box flight recorder to name just a few.

Health & medical research
A meeting of minds: a NSW success • Bionic Ear, a multiple-channel cochlear implant, was invented in Sydney • Research institutions based at 11 universities • Around 500 biotech private and public companies and institutes • World-class medical research institutions include the Garvan Institute, the Lowy Research Centre and the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute. The Garvan Institute in Sydney is performing worldwide genetic and genomic research • NSW is the epicentre of Australia’s medical devices and pharmaceutical industry • More than 75 per cent of the multinational pharmaceutical companies in Australia have headquarters in NSW, and the State is home to 45 per cent of Australia’s medical devices industry • Pharma companies include Pfizer Australia, Merck Sharp & Dohme, Bayer, AstraZeneca, Aventis, Roche and Eli Lilly • AstraZeneca is investing A$80 million in its NSW manufacturing plant to meet a rise in demand for asthma medicine from China. Key medical conferences confirmed for Sydney’s new ICC Sydney • International Congress of Behavioural Optometry in 2018 • The World Self-Medication Industry (WSMI) Asia Pacific Regional Conference and General Assembly in 2017 • 20th International Congress of Cytology for 2019.
already been confirmed for ICC Sydney. One of these, the International Congress of Behavioural Optometry for 2018, was secured directly because of the NSW region’s particularly strong community of behavioural optometrists, says Lewis-Smith. Sydney is still drawing on the significant legacy of previous international medical events. The World Conference on Lung Cancer is the world’s largest meeting dedicated to lung cancer and other thoracic malignancies (see below). Clinical Professor Michael Boyer AM worked with BESydney to bring the conference to Sydney. “The World Conference for Lung Cancer was a huge success here in Sydney and there was a lot of exchange of knowledge,” says Boyer. “But going beyond the event, there have been lasting benefits. We have made all sorts of contacts with people from around the world, and that’s led to research studies and research collaborations. “I think it’s also raised the profile of lung cancer at an important time.”
With the success of the health and medical research sectors, NSW is supporting further growth in these areas as part of its economic priorities. This is reflected in the significant annual investment in health and medical research by the Government, which now exceeds A$200 million. So it’s yet another area that is attracting world-leading businesses and research bodies in these sectors to Sydney. Promoting national and international collaborations in science and medical research is also one of the priority objectives of the NSW Office of Science and Research in a bid to attract increased investment to this burgeoning sector. BESydney works on attracting international association events to bring a long-term legacy of enhanced Australian and global expertise and growth in a particular research area. “Collaboration in the fields of research and best practice are simply more effective with the meeting of minds in one city,” says Lewis-Smith. World-leading medical conferences have
World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC) 2013 The successful conference welcomed over 5,300 from 93 countries, including world- renowned surgeons, oncologists, radiation oncologists and epidemiologists to Sydney. Held at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre, BESydney worked closely with the local organising committee, the host body IASLC and the professional congress organiser, International Conference Services (ICS), to host such an impressive event. As well as the long-term outcomes expected to create a legacy of new innovations and advances in global medicine and healthcare, some initial, direct outcomes were identified by BESydney: • Feedback from 900 delegates pointed to one of the most scientifically stimulating WCLCs • A record number of 2,316 abstracts were submitted and supported the scientific presentations at the conference • The IASLC expects further membership growth, especially in China and South America • Research collaborations fostered in meetings will help deliver important clinical trials • Australia as a leader in lung cancer research demonstrated importance in key areas, such as patient involvement and delivering care.
