Australian Transnational Education delegation at the QS India Summit 2026 in Goa
Goa [India], February 05: A 20-member Australian Transnational Education (TNE) delegation representing 16 Australian universities and education providers visits India as part of Australia–India TNE Week 2026, scheduled from 1–6 February 2026.
The objective of the visit is to showcase Australia’s strong TNE capabilities while opening new pathways for collaboration, joint programmes, institutional partnerships, and sustainable education models in India.
The delegation led by the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) attended the QS India Summit 2026 in Goa. The 2026 summit centred on the theme: “India@2047: Building Skills, Achieving Scale, Driving innovation,” and provided an opportunity for the Australian delegation to engage with one of the world’s fastest-growing education markets and be a part of the forward-thinking discussions on the future of Indian higher education during the summit.
After Goa, the delegation attended a global conference focused on international education sector in New Delhi. In addition, Austrade organised a series of market briefing sessions, roundtables with key Indian stakeholders and business networking sessions with the representatives of Indian Universities.
The engagements provided a strong platform for the Australian TNE delegation to showcase their capabilities and enable conversations with key decision makers to identify new models of TNE engagements with the Indian Institutions.
Commenting on the visit, Mr Vik Singh, Trade and Investment Commissioner, Australian Trade and Investment Commission, said, “This delegation marks a defining moment for Australia–India transnational education engagement. As the largest Australian TNE mission to India, it reflects the strong intent of Australian universities to co-create globally relevant education models with Indian partners. Through structured dialogues in India, we are looking to deepen trust, expand institutional partnerships, and unlock innovative collaborations that respond to the future skills needs of both countries.”
Australia–India TNE Week 2026 underscores the Australian Government’s strong commitment to deepening education and skills engagement with India under the New Roadmap for Australia’s EconomicEngagement with India.
