Singapore (Oct 5, 2021) – Forbes announced today the signing of a licensing agreement with Success Publishing Pty Ltd to launch Forbes Australia will commence sometime in 2022 across multiple platforms including digital, magazine, conferences and events.
As an extension of the world’s biggest business media brand, Forbes Australia will be a premier platform for entrepreneurial success. With a presence across multiple channels and touchpoints, Forbes Australia will ignite conversations around some of the most influential Australian leaders and entrepreneurs who are driving change, transforming business and making a significant impact on the world.
Forbes Australia will have access to Forbes stories from around the world, and will also feature local content from the Forbes Australia editorial team.
“Success Publishing is excited and honoured to bring Forbes Australia to our shores,” said Michael Lane, Managing Director of Success Global Media. “Forbes Australia’s mission will be to champion and connect with Australian entrepreneurs across multiple platforms. Delivering content that matters, the local edition will cover the most influential leaders transforming the landscape of business in Australia, today and into the future.”
