The TradeStart network is an extension to Austrade’s own offices. It is delivered in partnership with state, territory and local governments. The TradeStart partnership includes industry associations and chambers of commerce.
The network consists of sector specialists who work across regional Australia, as well as our state capitals. They can advise companies on trade, markets and export challenges. Our prime objective is to help small and medium-sized exporters in international markets.
TradeStart provides exporters with the combined resources of Austrade and each partner organisation. Together we provide local assistance and a direct link to Austrade’s Go Global Toolkit and overseas network.
