The Western Australian Export Awards are the State's most prestigious business awards. They acknowledge the innovation, hard work and success of businesses, large and small, in reaching new markets. The Awards acknowledge the important contribution that Western Australian businesses make to the local economy through job creation and increased prosperity in the community.
