Access Asia, a program of the Greater Austin Asian Chamber of Commerce

DELEGATIONS

Where we have been, and what came of it.

Access Asia delegations are built around the trade events and institutional meetings where site selection conversations actually begin. Each trip pairs Central Texas business leaders with economic development officials, so companies and the region make the case together. Every trip below has a report covering who was met and what followed.
