SUMMARY:Exporting Opportunities in Australia
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to attend a presentation on “Exporting Opportunities in Australia” that will focus on the export opportunities for Georgia exporters in the aerospace\, defense\, processed foods and food processing equipment sectors. This presentation is sponsored by the U.S. Commercial Service and by the Georgia Department of Economic Development (GDEcD). \nThe speaker is Doug Hartley\, Commercial Specialist with the U.S. Commercial Service in Canberra\, Australia. Doug works with U.S. companies to help them enter and be successful in the Australian market\, and has a wealth of knowledge regarding market conditions and trends\, as well as growth and promotional opportunities in the above sectors. \nAustralia’s market has many attractive characteristics for U.S. exporters. It is English-speaking\, a close ally\, offers IP protection and has business practices that are similar to those in the U.S. \nIn 2016 Australia was the third largest defense export market for the U.S. In 2017 Georgia ranked 5th among U.S. states in both aerospace and defense/security exports to Australia. \nAustralia is investing AUD 195 billion / USD 150 billion over the next ten years to acquire additional defense capabilities in all areas – land\, air\, sea\, space\, cyber – as well as to dramatically grow its local defense industry. Key defense promotional events include Pacific\, Land Forces and the Avalon Airshows; CivSec\, which targets border security\, disaster response and cyber; and a number of other events focusing on cyber\, defense IT\, and simulation technologies. \nAs regards the food industry\, during the 13-year life of the current U.S. – Australia Free Trade Agreement U.S. food exports to Australia have tripled. In 2017 Australia was the 2nd largest export market for agricultural equipment from the U.S.\, and Georgia was the 6th largest exporting state of agricultural equipment to Australia. In 2017 Georgia was the 12th largest exporting state of agricultural products to Australia. One of the key food industry trade shows in Australia is Fine Food Australia. The show includes a USA Pavilion\, a Commercial Drinks section\, and a large area devoted to food packaging and processing machinery. \nTo register email: tponce@georgia.org \n\n\n	From the archive:
