The Australian Technology Showcase
What is it?
The Australian Technology Showcase (ATS) is a national networking program aimed at promoting and developing export markets for innovative technology based products. State government departments in Victoria, Queensland and New South Wales manage the program, with a goal of encouraging exports and increasing employment.
Membership of the ATS is for three years and offers many benefits. Member technologies are promoted through the ATS website and newsletter and members are able to use the Australian Technology Showcase logo. Member businesses also have access to industry networking opportunities, seminars and expos, as well as the support of a dedicated Business Development Manager.
