THE American Chamber of Commerce Coral Sea recognised Papua New Guinea’s young leaders at the launching of its organisation in Port Moresby recently.
The chamber hosted young Papua New Guinean business leaders for a networking reception.
Young professionals met with leaders of the chamber and United States Embassy officials to share their stories.
The event marked the chamber’s first event within the business community on becoming an official organisation.
The leaders chose the event as the first in order to spotlight that empowering young people and promoting inclusion was a cornerstone to the chamber’s mission.
President and co-founder of PNG Digital Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Cluster Winifred Kula said: “I really like the shared vision and mission of the American chamber and the PNG Digital ICT Cluster association.
“As we also believe in prosperity through partnership and entrepreneurship as a powerful strategy to help individuals gain economic independence and serve as a catalyst for creating jobs and wealth in our society and way of life.”
The chamber is committed to empowering all groups within PNG to develop a diverse and equitable business community that will thrive in the future.
