The Australian Export & Investment Awards

The Australian Export & Investment Awards is a national program that recognises and honours Australian companies engaged in international business who have achieved sustainable growth through innovation and commitment.

The awards are pausing for 2020, the program will instead focus on celebrating the resilience, ingenuity and courage of our remarkable Aussie exporters, and the companies who invest here.

2020 Program

Your remarkable efforts deserve to be recognised

During the challenges of the past 12 months, we’ve been inspired by your efforts to sustain your business. Your hard work is something to be proud of, and this is your opportunity to reflect on the achievements of your team and share your story.

Selected stories will be featured on the Australian Export & Investment Awards website, and will be shared and promoted nationally by our partners and supporters. A small number will also be presented as video stories. These will be promoted internationally and featured at a very special event.

This is a chance to celebrate your wins and get national recognition for your business. At a time when everyone needs some extra encouragement, your story could also be a source of inspiration for other businesses.

Write to recognise

How have you – or a business you know – persevered, pivoted and adapted under pressure? Maybe you’ve found a new way to reach customers, gone the extra mile to support your employees, adapted your business model or introduced a new innovation.

Whatever your business is doing to get through this tough time, we’re behind you. And we want to hear from you. Let’s shine a light on remarkable resilience.

About Australian Export & Investment Awards

The awards are pausing for 2020, the program will instead focus on celebrating the resilience, ingenuity and courage of our remarkable Aussie exporters, and the companies who invest here.

The Awards measure businesses against their peers based on the strength of their international growth, marketing and financial strategies.

The Awards operates as a two-tier process: exporters first achieve state distinction through their local State and Territory export award program.

Local winners then progress as national finalists and are bench marked against their peers across the country, with winners receiving national recognition for their international success.

The Export Council of Australia manages the awards program for New South Wales and Western Australia.

The Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) and the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI) partner to present the national export awards program, one of the longest running business awards programs in Australia.

For further information on the Export Awards Program, please contact the Export Council of Australia on 1300 361 526 or by e-mail info@export.org.au

Member of the ECA

"In 2014 Vekta Automation became involved in the Export Awards and started to get a better understanding about the role of the Export Council of Australia. After attending a seminar in Perth in February 2019 the decision was instantly made and we signed up the next day. A decision we should have made 5 years earlier. For Vekta, the information, expertise and networking opportunities that the ECA provides has been valuable. It is reassuring knowing that there are experienced and knowledgeable people we can turn to when advice is needed."
