What this is

Canada-Australia Business Bridge connects business owners in Canada and Australia, two countries that share a language, a legal tradition and a head of state, and almost never share a working hour.

Vancouver finishes its afternoon as the Gold Coast starts its morning, the next day. So nothing here is simultaneous, and nothing needs to be. One side passes an introduction across at the end of its day, the other picks it up with the first coffee, and the conversation moves forward twice before either person has lost any sleep.

One host on each side of the Pacific

Susan knows the rooms in Greater Vancouver. Darren knows the rooms on the Gold Coast. An introduction across seventeen hours only gets opened if the person sending it is someone the reader already trusts, so each side has its own named, checkable host.

How a handover works

Written to be read while you sleep.Every introduction says who both people are, why they should talk and what happens next, so nobody needs a follow up call to understand it.
The time goes in both zones.A suggested call is written as, say, Wednesday 3pm Vancouver, Thursday 8am Gold Coast. That one habit prevents most of the mistakes.
Nothing is sent for you.The platform can draft the message. You read it and send it yourself, from your own email or phone, at an hour that will not wake anyone.
The loop gets closed.Whoever made the introduction hears whether the two people met, because at this distance nobody finds out by bumping into each other.

When Vancouver finishes its afternoon, the Gold Coast is starting its morning, the next day. Nothing about this bridge is simultaneous. It works like a good shift handover: one side passes the introduction across at the end of its day, and the other side picks it up with its first coffee.
