About this program
Exporting is one of the most powerful growth strategies available to a Queensland business — but many businesses are unsure what the whole process will require of their business. The Export Foundations Program changes that.
Over 12 modules, Queensland businesses gain the skills, knowledge and confidence to take their products and services to the world through a practical, hands-on program built around real export capability, not theory. From pricing and logistics to market selection, legal protection and export strategy, every module is designed to be applied directly to your business, at your pace, from anywhere in Queensland.
Program outcomes
As part of TIQ’s Queensland Exporter Academy, the program combines on-demand online learning with in-person seminars across the state, peer networking and one-on-one mentoring. You’ll finish with a completed export plan and a clear path forward — supported by the capabilities to make it happen.
