Trade missions & exhibitions

The NSW Department of Trade and Investment program of international trade missions and exhibitions offers export-ready NSW companies an effective way to identify new international business opportunities and to acquire the knowledge and connections critical to export success.

Trade missions are either general in nature catering for a broad range of products and services, or industry specific visiting significant overseas markets.

At selected international trade shows, the Department organises exhibition space for shared use by NSW companies.

Numbers for all trade missions and international exhibitions are limited to ensure the highest level of individual service.
