This feature is still under development and will be available soon. Thank you for you patience. But in the meantime..

Who they are...

SA Business Ambassadors are prominent and respected business people, academics, public servants and community leaders. They live or frequently travel interstate or overseas, and have significant business contacts outside South Australia.

SA Business Ambassadors retain strong ties to South Australia. They are confident in the future of the State, and willing to promote South Australia as a great place to live, visit, work, invest and do business.

Together, Business Ambassadors form the South Australian Business Ambassadors Network (SABAN). This network is connected by SABAN Central, the common point in what is more accurately expressed as a "network of networks". SABAN Central works with Business Ambassadors, helping to make the most of opportunities that arise in each Business Ambassador's own spheres of influence.

What they do...

SA Business Ambassadors identify - or in other ways contribute to - opportunities that are of benefit to South Australia. Key areas of focus are business migration, inward tourism, attracting talent to South Australia, establishing and expanding South Australian businesses, importing, exporting and bilateral trade.

The opportunities can range from being encouraging people to visit South Australia to facilitating the migration of high profile Business Migrants, from supporting the case for a company to make its Asia-Pacific Headquarters in South Australia to assisting South Australian companies break into international markets.

The opportunities are many, and South Australia's Business Ambassadors make a significant contribution to the economic development of the State.

How they do it...

Business Ambassadors contribute to South Australia's economic development in many ways. In most instances, SA Business Ambassadors approach SABAN Central, providing the details needed for SABAN Central to follow up on an opportunity, or alternatively, refer their contact (or "Referral") to approach SABAN Central. SABAN Central then works with the Referral on the opportunity, with Government and the private sector as appropriate or relevant to each specific project.

Ongoing involvement by the Business Ambassador may or may not occur according to their own wish, but the do remain briefed on progress and final outcomes. Other Business Ambassadors may become involved in specific projects by way of offering expertise or counsel.
