Today applications open for the 62nd Australian Export Awards and I encourage our innovative and inspiring exporters to enter and share their success stories.
This national awards program recognises the outstanding contribution our exporters make to Australia's economic prosperity.
Last year's 86 national finalists generated over $12 billion in export earnings and employed more than 22,500 Australians.
That's a tremendous contribution from a cohort of export businesses taking quality Australian products to the world, and creating jobs in our cities, regions, and rural areas.
The Australian Export Awards program shines a light on export success stories from every state and territory, and shows the world the depth, diversity, and capability of Australian businesses.
This year's awards will again showcase Australian excellence in 13 categories. The 2024 Australian Exporter of the Year will be selected from the national category winners.
Applications open today and close 14 June. State and territory winners will be announced at ceremonies from August to October, with national winners announced at the Australian Export Awards ceremony at Parliament House on 20 November.
Austrade proudly presents the Australian Export Awards program in conjunction with state and territory partners.
