Story

Get to Know Us

The Australia–China Innovation Association (ACIA) brings together people who believe progress comes from collaboration, not competition.

In a world that has grown more divided, we connect those who see strength in differences and use innovation and technology to create shared growth between Australia and China.

Australia offers stability, creativity, and world-class research — a great foundation for global ideas.
China has transformed into one of the world’s leading technology and innovation hubs.

Together, they form a unique partnership — close in timezone, rich in talent, and full of opportunity.

We’re building a community that shares knowledge, builds trust, and drives innovation across borders.
Our goal is simple: to help great ideas grow — from Australia and China, to the world.
