About Manuel Barbera

With over 15 years of experience in international business development, I help companies thrive in global markets through exports and foreign direct investment. As a Director of Business Development at Austrade Madrid, I identify and facilitate commercial opportunities for Australian companies in Spain and Portugal across various sectors, such as advanced technology, manufacturing, resources, energy, and agribusiness. I leverage my Global Executive MBA, Global Trade Certificate, and extensive network of relationships with key stakeholders to provide strategic advice and support to Australian clients on market entry, innovation, and economic diplomacy. I also organise and participate in business missions, industry events, and ministerial visits to showcase my client´s capabilities and potential. My current goal is to contribute to Australia's prosperity and competitiveness by creating value and impact for Australian businesses and partners.
