Looking for an export opportunity? - Sophie Mirabella
Fifteen businesses in the electorate of Indi shared in $366,077 in Export Market Development Grants (EMDG) from the Howard Government in 2006-07, the Federal Member for Indi, Sophie Mirabella, said today.
“These grants provide valuable support to local businesses in their efforts to build sustainable export markets for their products,” Mrs Mirabella said.
“By reimbursing some of the costs of marketing their products in international markets, the EMDG scheme provides a strong incentive for companies looking to take their first steps into exporting or to grow their international business.
Mrs Mirabella said that by supporting local businesses the EMDG scheme helps to boost economic growth and employment in the North-East.
“Exporters provide vital jobs for Australians in this area and around the country. In fact, one in five Australian jobs depends on exports, one in four in regional areas.”
“Last year, the Howard Government extended the EMDG scheme for a further five years, until the end of 2010-11, which gives greater certainty for Australian businesses planning their long-term export promotion activities.”
“I encourage local companies that aren’t already doing business overseas to consider getting into export and to take advantage of the support provided through the EMDG scheme to help grow their business,” Mrs Mirabella said.
