FounderAdelaide Abroad Jul 2016 - PresentAdelaide, AustraliaAdelaide Abroad - tapping our world wide web of people“Adelaide Abroad” aims to enhance South Australia by reaching out to our state's expats across the world, plus those tempted to come to South Australia for the first time. Many lament the young going abroad, but in fact they become some of the best Adelaideans – being able to boost the state while abroad – and then returning – often in the prime of their life – to advance the state with their worldly experience and contacts. There are many famous ‘boomerangs’ back in Adelaide already, but we can do much much better by being organised with the rest. This wide web of folks abroad – an estimated 110,000 from SA alone and a million Australians overall – have soaked up the latest innovations overseas and built up a rich international network of connections and expertise.Alas, speaking from personal experience, expats hear little about Adelaide, with the bigger cities often hogging the attention, and many are unaware of the new “Radelaide”.Our expats can be engaged and work with SA from where they are overseas – advising, representing SA, etc. Many can be easily tempted back home earlier - to the world’s 10th most liveable city - either on a short-term basis or permanently.Statistics show 75% of expat Aussies return home eventually, especially when family needs become dominant. To which city they return is up in the air though. Many have had more than their share of big city international experience and looking next for quality - a life absent of traffic jams, pollution and other downsides of megacities that have become too big.With today’s business and culture so interconnected and worldwide, where one physically is based matters less and less for the best, once they have gained their experience and contacts. How one lives though always is very local. This is how Adelaide can attract back the best seeking the best!
