Gekko’s CEO, Elizabeth Lewis-Gray, was invited to attend a Parliamentary Luncheon in Canberra to honour The Right Honourable Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada. Mr Harper addressed a special joint sitting of the Australian Parliament, making him the first Canadian Prime Minister to do so in its 106 year history.
Ms Lewis-Gray was delighted to have the opportunity to discuss with Mr Harper, Gekko’s strong relationships with the Canadian mining industry and to highlight the company’s potential growth opportunities, due to the expansion of Canadian resources.
The invitation was extended to Ms Lewis-Gray in her capacity as a Board Member of Innovation Australia, which administers innovation, R&D and venture capital programs for the Australian Federal Government.
