The Shoalhaven Export Hub
Launched in November 2020, after Shoalhaven City Council received grant funding through the Australian Government’s Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) Export Hubs Initiative. The initiative will help Australian small to medium enterprises (SMEs) to grow, export and increase local and regional jobs.
The Shoalhaven Export Hub is a collaborative business-to-business network that helps small and medium-size businesses harness opportunities in global markets. The Shoalhaven Export Hub aims to assist businesses to build their skills and know-how. Seminars, workshops and networking activities will help to develop skills and contacts for members.
The Shoalhaven Export Strategy 2022 provided a framework and key actions that ensure businesses of Shoalhaven can become more involved in international trade.
