Western Australia’s participation in the event was a result of collaboration between Invest and Trade WA (ITWA) Perth hub, ITWA United Kingdom Office and the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD).
WA Minister for Agriculture and Food, Jackie Jarvis, DPIRD Deputy Director General, Cec McConnell, and Australia's High Commissioner to the UK, Stephen Smith, attended the event and visited the WA stand.
The DPIRD team also helped to promote and facilitate a pre-IFE Austrade business program with market briefings and site visits for WA businesses to connect with potential partners and gain valuable market knowledge.
