Trade missions and trade shows

The Department of State Growth’s Trade Tasmania team is committed to providing direct in-market connections for Tasmanian businesses to grow both national and international markets across priority sectors.

Trade missions, trade shows and bespoke Tasmanian events provide the State’s exporting businesses with the direct opportunity to explore, expand and maintain meaningful connections and partnerships that build brand awareness.

Trade missions

Trade missions are government-led programs designed to take Tasmanian businesses and organisations to key international markets. They provide a platform for your business or organisation to:

  • connect with international buyers, distributors, trading partners and business leaders
  • enhance your international profile and showcase your business’ capabilities
  • secure international orders for your product and/or service
  • develop knowledge of international markets in areas including pricing, promotion and distribution strategy, and cultural nuances
  • understand regulatory requirements in international markets
  • benefit from the endorsement of government.

Trade missions are tailored to the needs of businesses that join. Trade Tasmania works closely with Austrade, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) and the teams extensive network of connections to arrange briefings and functions, site visits, product promotions and business matching that are relevant to your business.

Trade shows

Trade shows provide Tasmanian export-ready businesses with a direct opportunity to establish and retain in-market connections. They enable you to explore, expand or maintain market presence.

Trade Tasmania hosts Tasmanian stands in partnership with industry at important national and international trade events. A united Tasmanian stand provides the opportunity to leverage the highly respected Tasmanian brand and to benefit from organisational, promotional, and cost efficiencies gained through sharing a pavilion.

In some cases, Trade Tasmania will partner with Austrade on larger exhibitions that showcases a region.

Defence Tasmania events

The Department of State Growth also supports Tasmanian businesses to access defence industry opportunities, through participation at defence specific events under the ‘Defence Tasmania’ banner.
