Queensland’s Go Global Export Program is supporting 35 small and medium-sized (SMEs) businesses to grow exports, the economy and create jobs.
This year’s recipients include:
- CMT Scanner: Exporting Australian-made AI vehicle damage scanners to the UK.
- BiomeCentric: A biotech company providing personalised gut microbiome products. Grant funding will support planned expansion into China.
- Audeara: Launching a wireless hearing aid and software solution in China. This export initiative targets the country’s estimated 500 million people with hearing loss. The company was awarded the International Health Exporter of the Year for Queensland in 2024.
To help businesses grow exports, government funding of between $10,000 and $25,000 was provided.
“The LNP knows that Queensland’s small and family businesses are the backbone of our economy,” said minister for finance, trade, employment and training Ros Bates.
“These grants are about cutting red tape, unlocking trade, and helping local businesses grow and hire.
According to trade and investment Queensland chief executive officer Justin McGowan, the Go Global Export Program is part of a broader suite of exporter services available free to SMEs, including eCommerce training, market entry support, and trade mission facilitation.
“TIQ’s job is to connect Queensland businesses with global buyers and Go Global gives them the means to close the deal,” said McGowan.
