Committee Chair George Christensen says the hearing is part of a broader inquiry to seek out and explore the challenges and opportunities faced by Australia’s exporters.
‘One of the issues we’ll be looking at on Friday is the potential impact of future export and investment opportunities, including emerging sectors such as Australia’s space industry.’
‘Australia has an opportunity to be a big part of the growing space industry, which will generate innovation, new technologies and jobs for the future.’
The Committee will also hear from witnesses in the medicines and health, agriculture and advanced manufacturing industries, as well as small business representatives.
‘We know that small businesses are underrepresented in export markets, and often don’t have the significant resources needed to move into exports,’ Mr Christensen said.
‘We are looking forward to hearing about how Australian small businesses can be supported to succeed internationally.’
