2020 National Recognition Program

In 2020 we did things differently. In the face of unprecedented challenges, Australian exporters have shown remarkable resilience.

Rather than focusing on winners in 2020, we recognised and promoted stories of resilience, perseverance and quick-thinking pivots from determined business leaders from across the Australian exporting community.

From regional to metro, across every State and Territory, from exporters big and small.

The following Australian businesses were truly inspiring and resilient. We thank these 8 businesses, who featured in our 2020 recognition program:

• Bec Hardy Wines
• Care Essentials Pty Ltd
• Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair Foundation
• Epichem Pty Ltd
• Flavourtech Pty Ltd
• Icon Group
• Novaris Pty Ltd
• Summernats
