Trade Missions and Exhibitions

The NSW Department of State and Regional Development's program of international trade missions and exhibitions offers export-ready NSW companies an effective way to identify new international business opportunities and to acquire the knowledge and connections critical to export success.

Trade missions
Trade Missions are either general in nature catering for a broad range of products and services, or industry specific visiting significant overseas markets.

International exhibitions
At selected international trade shows, the Department organises exhibition space for shared use by New South Wales companies.

Numbers for all trade missions and international exhibitions are limited to ensure the highest level of individual service.

What participants say

"Firstly, I would like to express my sincere thanks to the Department. I found that this event was well organised and most worthwhile. I am certain that our message reached important decision makers."
Trevor G Tyne, Irrigation and Water Technologies
Cityscape Abu Dhabi, April 2009

"We have made a number of market visits with the support of the Department and are making progress in the Middle East. We have won a big contract in Oman as well as others in Abu Dhabi, Kuwait and Qatar, and an order for Iran and one for Lebanon. I can honestly say that the help of your department has been of great assistance. Thank you."
Michael Rorke, Radcrete Pacific Pty Ltd

"This opportunity has put our label on the radar of the most influential buyers and media in the USA and we have also made immediate sales."

"I was satisfied with the interest in our products from companies in Qatar as a result of participating in this market visit. We have identified up to 13 new clients and expect to appoint an agent or distributor within the next 12 months. This should fast track our export growth to the region."
Darren Paterson, Pumps Australia
Market visit to Qatar, November 2008

"As a result of our participation at Cityscape, we expect to appoint a joint venture partner or enter into a MUL agreement in the next 12 months and have identified up to 20 new clients. The NSW Stand was excellent and the Department's personnel were extremely helpful and timely in their assistance. We have a much better understanding of variations in Middle East opportunities country by country."
