About the Shoalhaven Export Hub

The Shoalhaven Export Hub was launched in November 2020, after the Shoalhaven City Council received grant funding through the Australian Government’s Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) Export Hubs Initiative. The initiative will help Australian 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.

Membership of the Shoalhaven Export Hub is free.

Our Goals

The aim of the Shoalhaven Export Hub is to develop companies for export or put them on the export journey by:

  • Assisting firms in determining their export readiness
  • Assisting member firms in developing export strategies focused on current or future global opportunities that reflect local strengths
  • Enhance member skills and management capability through training and seminars
  • Increase information and resource sharing between participating businesses
  • Help to address barriers to participation by member firms in global supply chains
  • Develop an overarching Shoalhaven export strategy (pdf 4.2MB)that aligns with growth industry sectors
  • Providing market intelligence about export opportunities

Why Export?

  • Tapping into a global customer base - 7.8 billion vs 25 million
  • Reduced dependence on one market
  • Increase efficiencies through economies of scale in production
  • Extend the life of a mature product
  • Identify counter-seasonal markets
  • Take advantage of negotiated Free Trade Agreements
