Quotes from Chief Minister Michael Gunner:
“We are heading south to keep hunting investment opportunities to keep growing a $40 billion economy by 2030.
“This week we’ll be getting back to business face-to-face with some of the biggest investors to continue working with them on projects that benefit the Territory, and to expand them to create more jobs for Territorians and more opportunities here for business.
“We’re sending a strong message to Australia, and to the world – we are open for business and we are capitalising on every opportunity.”
