Taking the first step to going global can be intimidating for any agritech business but there’s plenty of support to ensure a ‘soft landing’ – if you do your homework.
So where do Australian startups, SMEs and scaleups look first to ensure a smooth passage into international waters?
Well, the best place to start is right here at home, through trade agencies that offer tangible support and market research – and it’s free.
Whether businesses are seeking financial support, tracking down contacts or looking for hard-to-find information, there’s a plethora of tools to keep the journey on track.
So we've teamed up with Austrade and the UK Department for International Trade (DIT) to learn more about what this journey looks like, and how exactly trade agencies can help you expand your footprint and make meaningful global connections.
