What
is ABIE?
Australian
Business in Europe (ABIE) is the business networking organisation
for Australians working in Europe and for Europeans involved
with Australian industry and commerce. ABIE fosters ties
between Australian and European professionals with the
aim to raise awareness of, and encourage business between,
the two continents. ABIE
was founded in London in 1975 and has grown into a dynamic
organisation, with offices all over Europe and an international
membership of several thousand. Members are drawn from
Australian companies with business interests in Europe
and a wide range of European companies with interests
in Australia. Banking, insurance, finance, manufacturing
and service industries are well represented, as are
smaller enterprises.
