Assistance for NSW Exporters
The NSW Exporters Network is a group of NSW companies that recognises the benefits International Trade can bring to themselves, the community and the State of New South Wales.
Export success depends on having access to practical, reliable and up-to-date information and advice on markets, customer preferences, distribution and marketing practices, political issues, cultural requirements, legal problems, risk factors and so on.
Where better to source information and advice than from companies which are already active in international markets and which are prepared to share their knowledge and experience for the benefit of others? This is the underlying premise of the NSW Exporters Network and, as such, it complements the Department of State and Regional Development's (DSRD) other export assistance programs.
The NSW Exporters Network has a dedicated, interactive website where members can communicate with each other and with the Department's trade services staff, as well as gain access to a host of export-related and service provider sites around the world.
The Network is supplemented by a schedule of informal meetings and seminars to provide export information and guidance and to enable members to meet for personal discussions.
The website enables the active participation of all Exporters Network members, no matter where they may be in NSW.
