Our Key Pillars

Future-ready and thriving economy

Changing the narrative about Adelaide and promoting its competitive advantage nationally and globally is core to our state’s economic growth and future prosperity. 

Talent attractor and retainer

As a future-ready and thriving economy, Greater Adelaide will become a major attractor and retainer of the world’s best talent.  

Inclusive community and culture

Welcoming, inclusive, and diverse communities are critical in attracting and retaining businesses and talent.

Our mission is to provide independent thought leadership, advocacy, and influence policy for the benefit of our state, both now and into the future.

Our vision for Greater Adelaide is to be the most extraordinary, big thinking, welcoming and vibrant global city with a population of 2 million by 2030.

We are a mid-sized city with a strong economic base underpinned by an exceptionally high-quality standard of living, significant tertiary sector and a clear economic agenda that enjoys bipartisan support.

Attracting capital and talent is what will drive us there. It will take vision and courage, but the policy settings are in front of us.

We will work collaboratively with our members and partners, to discuss and develop innovative solutions that set us apart. 

Ultimately, the actions we take now will impact our State and quality of life, health and wellbeing of our future generations.

Adelaide Connected Program

Adelaide Connected is a program powered by the Committee for Adelaide, designed for people who are considering a move to South Australia or have recently moved and want to learn more about our city, the opportunities, the lifestyle, and most importantly, the connections that can be made. We are here to help facilitate introductions and connect people to industry and other networks.

Adelaide Connected seeks to cement Adelaide’s reputation as a desirable place to live, study, work, invest and do business. We want to create a narrative for the State about people coming to here and to tap into the valuable international business and other networks of expats, foreign alumni, and people that have chosen Adelaide to live and work.
