Congratulations to the 95 national finalists in this year's 63rd annual Australian Export Awards.
Each of these outstanding exporters, who have already been recognised in their respective State or Territory awards this year, champion our world-class export sector, delivering high-quality goods and services to global markets.
Collectively, they employed more than 18,000 people and generated more than $4 billion in export earnings last financial year.
Almost half are small businesses with an annual turnover of less than $10 million, showcasing just how vital small business is for Australian exports.
Since 1963, the Australian Export Awards have recognised the contribution of more than 2,000 Australian businesses that have achieved international success across a broad range of sectors, helping show Australia's world class products, services and people off to the world.
This year a dedicated First Nations Exporter award has been established, with our first national winner to be announced on the night out of one of six finalists from across the country.
The Export Awards are presented by the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) in collaboration with state and territory partners and sponsors.

"This year's finalists represent the very best of Australian exporters and make a significant contribution to our economy, employ thousands of Australians, and support communities across the country.
"Australian products, services and people are known across the world and that wouldn't be possible without the businesses that export them to the world.
"I look forward to celebrating the fourteen award category winners and announcing the Australian Exporter of the Year at the 63rd Australian Export Awards National Ceremony in Canberra on 26 November 2025."
