The awards were recently launched by Minister for Northern Australia and Trade, Nicole Manison, to recognise and celebrate the successes, innovation and business resilience of Territory exporters.
It is important to recognise export businesses and showcase the work they are doing to grow the Territory’s economy, create jobs for Territorians and attract investment in areas such as:
• Advanced technologies;
• Agribusiness, food and beverages;
• Creative industries;
• E-commerce;
• Emerging Exporter;
• International education and training;
• International health;
• Manufacturing and advanced materials;
• Professional services;
• Regional Exporter;
• Resources and energy;
• Small business;
• Sustainability.
An overall Exporter of the Year is selected from the winners of the above categories.
The NT winners of each category progress as finalists to the Australian Export Awards.
International trade is an important economic driver that contributed $12.1 billion to the economy last year and this will continue to grow.
