Celebrating innovative Australian exporters
The Australian Export Awards (AEA) is a national program that celebrates the achievements of extraordinary Australian exporters, and the far‑reaching impact they have on the nation’s economy.
Now in its 61st year, the Australian Export Awards is one of Australia’s longest running business awards programs. It has recognised more than 2000 Australian exporters since 1963, who have achieved international success in diverse sectors, through their commitment, innovation and leadership.
The Australian Export Awards showcases finalists, category winners and Australian Exporter of the Year on a global stage to drive demand for their products and services. Their stories inspire other Australian businesses to diversify their export strategy and go global.
This program is proudly presented by the Australian Trade & Investment Commission (Austrade) in partnership with State and Territory awards programs. It is made possible through the valued support of Australia's leading corporations, export facilitators and industry groups, and other Australian Government departments.
