CAUSINDY is participating in the NT Government's Business Engagement Program.

The Northern Territory’s population is the nation’s youngest, at a median age of just 31.3 years, but also the smallest with just over 235 000 people living and working in this vast expanse of land. The population includes a diversity of more than 100 nationalities who share their cultures.

Due to the Northern Territory’s proximity to Asia, Asian influences are very predominant. Darwin is closer to Asia than to any of Australia’s major capital cities. Due to this proximity, the Northern Territory has developed strong diplomatic, cultural and economic ties with South-East Asia. Successive governments have capitalised on trading benefits by promoting the Northern Territory as Australia’s ‘Gateway to Asia’.

Indigenous people represent a quarter of the population and have a strong influence on the region’s culture. The Northern Territory’s vibrant economic growth and a raft of multi-million and multi-billion dollar developments position the region as one of Australia’s fastest-growing.

The 2019 Arafura Games will showcase the Northern Territory’s unique arts, culture, history and trade and investment opportunities. It is an event through which friendship, goodwill and understanding between competing nations and the Northern Territory is fostered.

Recognising that it operates on the lands of many strong Indigenous nations, respecting the knowledge and culture of Aboriginal people and remaining committed to Indigenous advancement are key prorities.
