Are you considering exporting or expanding your manufacturing operations overseas, but unsure where to start or how to scale with confidence?

For many Australian manufacturers, global expansion is a strategic way to access new customers, reduce reliance on a single market and build long-term resilience. As you explore international opportunities, access to relevant information, guidance and financing plays an important role in navigating complexity and making informed decisions.

This one-hour webinar is designed specifically for Australian manufacturers who are seeking practical, real-word guidance on global expansion. You will hear firsthand from Thomas Global Systems, an Australian manufacturer that has successfully expanded into international markets, sharing honest insights into what worked, the challenges they faced and the lessons learned along the way.

You will also gain expert perspectives from Austrade and Export Finance Australia on the Government programs, market intelligence and financing options available to support your international growth. Together, the speakers will provide a grounded view of how manufacturers can navigate common challenges and risks when entering and scaling in global markets.

The session will conclude with a live Q&A, giving you the opportunity to ask questions specific to your business, challenges and growth ambitions.
