NERA’s Smart Australia program is designed to help open doors and make introductions, providing Australian entrepreneurs and innovative companies with the opportunity to identify, access and accelerate international growth prospects.

This customised workshop and bespoke mentoring program will enable participants to identify in-market opportunities, scope relevant commercial and financial strategies, and equip participants with the skills, language and tools required to translate these into tangible commercial outcomes.

Smart Australia is designed to help entrepreneurs and business owners to:

  • understand strategic target markets;
  • access meaningful and international in-market connections;
  • identify potential opportunities to work with in-country organisations;
  • craft and finesse their unique value proposition;
  • prepare and leverage powerful capability statements;
  • be pitch-ready and prepared for commercial negotiations;
  • visit target markets as part of a supportive network.

  • Workshops and workshop materials (to be held in Perth and Brisbane)
  • Access to the Gastech Exhibition in Barcelona
