A total of 88 businesses were named as finalists in the 62nd Australian Export Awards.
These finalists emerged as winners in their respective state and territory Export Award ceremonies and have been honoured for their contributions to Australia’s economy through job creation and export growth.
The list of finalists can be found here.
In particular, over half of these businesses are small enterprises with annual turnovers of less than $10 million, highlighting anew the crucial role small businesses play in Australia’s export market.
Collectively, this year’s finalists employed more than 24,300 people and generated nearly $8 billion in export earnings in the last financial year. They were praised by the Minister for Trade, Don Farrell, for helping boost employment in the country alongside the global presence of Australian goods and services with their international expansion.
The awards ceremony will take place on 20 November , where winners in 13 award categories will be named, and the highly anticipated Australian Exporter of the Year will be announced.
The Australian Export Awards have celebrated the international success of over 2,000 Australian businesses since their inception in 1963.
The program is presented by the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) and is a collaborative effort involving state and territory partners, alongside sponsors.
