Our Purpose

While ACITI’s beginnings are humble, our vision is not. Our purpose is to: build a centre that provides the general public with non-technical information on key trade and investment issues; build the capacity of Australian firms to engage in international trade and investment; and strengthen Australia's policy capability to help resolve difficult issues impeding international economic cooperation.
