Today, we had the privilege of hosting more than 30 diplomats from across the globe as part of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) Victoria State Office Regional Outreach Program.
The annual program brings members of Melbourne's diplomatic community into regional Victoria to showcase local industries, innovation and community strengths, while highlighting potential business, trade and investment opportunities.
We were honoured that AQUATEC was selected as one of the organisations to be featured, recognising our reputation as an innovator in water, wastewater and environmental solutions, and our growing international footprint.
The delegation toured two of our Shepparton facilities, including our switchboard manufacturing operations and pump station fit-out facility, following an overview of Aquatec’s technologies, capabilities and services. Discussions covered a broad range of topics, including pressure sewer systems, odour control, emerging technologies and the challenges facing the global water sector.
It was encouraging to see such strong interest and engagement from representatives across so many countries, with plenty of thoughtful questions and discussion throughout the visit.
Regional Victoria continues to demonstrate that world-class innovation can thrive outside our capital cities. We are proud to be developing technologies in Shepparton that are helping utilities and communities across Australia and internationally.
Thank you to DFAT for the opportunity to showcase Aquatec, our team and the Goulburn Valley region.
