Raving reviews
With a few early success stories already!
"Being part of the program has helped us to develop a much clearer export strategy for our technology and risk management business. Being able to connect with so many great experienced people who have worked, or are working in country and focus on some key go to market strategies, coupled with critically important cultural understandings has been a huge help for us. It was such an enjoyable and valuable experience along the way.

Common Questions

Our team is here to answer any questions you might have.
Get in touch
Why South East Asia?
South-East Asia offers a fast-growing middle class with an increasing appetite for high quality products and services.

Whereas you are likely to focus your initial efforts on one particular market within SEA, having a regional strategy allows you to make an informed decision on which market(s) to focus on and to make optimal use of your resources to expand down the track.

If you are a tech company, we will particularly focus on Singapore as a "SEA landing pad" because it is home to many of SEA's largest companies' headquarters, a global talent pool and is recognised as Asia's hub for innovation and (venture) capital.
What are the selection criteria?
We consider a wide variety of factors and assess your application based on the maturity of your company, market potential in SEA, and readiness to expand and support your international operations.
Is the program 100% virtual?
The program is mostly virtual with optional face-to-face events and trade missions.
Can more than one person from my company participate in the program?
Yes. You may register more than one person from your company to participate, however one person must be nominated as the lead contact for the program. The program is suitable for companies that want to expand their team’s market knowledge.
Does my business need an ABN?
Yes. The program is open to operating businesses with a defined product or service, and who are at the stage of actively exploring exporting.
