Recognising Tasmania’s top exporters

Nominations for the 2019 Tasmanian Export Awards are now open to recognise the contribution our leading exporters make to our State.

Tasmania has what the rest of the world wants and now is the time to maintain the momentum and invest for growth in our trade sector to support local businesses and create more jobs.

The 2019-20 State Budget invests an additional $4.4 million to support Tasmania’s first Trade Strategy, which will increase market opportunities and support Tasmanian businesses to get their products to the world.

Tasmania’s trade continues to grow strongly, with exports growing 6.6 per cent compared to the last year.

There are 15 categories for this year’s awards which recognise success by small business, new exporters or international businesses, and businesses based in regional areas.

The Tasmanian Export Awards provide the perfect platform to showcase our world leading, premium products and I encourage all Tasmanian exporters to enter.

Nominations close on Friday 9 August 2019. More information can be found at https://exportaward.com.au/tas/newentry/index.php
