Abstract
Australia’s economic ties to Europe relatively weakened over the past decades, the Asian Century opened up new opportunities, and diverted attention from a Euro-centric political and economic view. This paper does not challenge the merit of Australia’s current global orientation. However, it does take the opportunity to a possibility for diversification, using effective leadership in raising business opportunities with the emerging region of Europe: the Visegrád Countries. This group of nations have been earmarked as the best performing, latest additions to the EU. Outcomes of a round table discussion with key stakeholders of the Australia – Central Europe business relations are documented and cross-referenced with extant literature to highlight the main areas in which effective leadership can build business opportunities
