Victoria has a strong reputation as the manufacturing, services, innovation and knowledge powerhouse of Australia, generating a quarter of the nation’s economic activity, further contributes to make Melbourne an attractive option for business migrants.

It has a long tradition of welcoming foreign investment and offers competitive business costs compared to other global locations. The Harvard Business Review rated Australia as the best place to invest in the post-recession world. Thanks to continuous economic expansion and low inflation, migrants can find economic opportunities that are currently rare in most of the developed world.
