TradeStart Assistance
TradeStart is a national network of export assistance offices offering a package of free services through the New Exporter Development Program (NEDP).
In South Australia, TradeStart is a partnership between Austrade and the Department of Trade and Economic Development (DTED) to provide services to help small and medium-sized companies to develop their business overseas and make their first export sales.
TradeStart offices can help prepare your company for international markets by:
- advising on international marketing strategies;
- offering feedback on promotional material;
- providing information about economic conditions and commercial practices in target markets; and
- evaluating the suitability of a product or service within a proposed target market.
