About the AmCham Alliance Awards Gala.

With over 100 years of economic, political, cultural, diplomatic, and military ties, the Australia-US alliance has never been more vital to the Australian people. On 8 December the American Chamber of Commerce will celebrate this relationship and some of the emerging leaders in key fields that are transforming and deepening our transpacific mateship for the better. AmCham’s inaugural Alliance Awards Gala will honour pathfinders in six key industries that are actively strengthening the links between Australia and the United States. Celebrating these individuals in Australia with strong ties to the United States will shine a light on their achievements, focus attention on future investment, and inspire the next generation of Australian and American innovators. The award categories are:

Artificial Intelligence | Biotechnology | Digital Economy | Energy and Clean Technology | Quantum Computing | Space

AmCham’s Alliance Awards will reflect the important relationship between Australia and the United States and the enormous American contribution to the Australian economy.
