International markets: Real time insights and exporter tools

Global Victoria invites you to an exclusive in-person session designed to help Victorian exporters shape their next global chapter. These workshops will take place from 21 – 24 October 2025 across regional Victoria.

By combining global intelligence with practical guidance, you’ll gain access to real-time international market insights directly from a Victorian Commissioner, alongside tools and resources to help your business grow.

What to expect?

You’ll gain a comprehensive overview of Victoria's global trade landscape while learning about Global Victoria and the TradeStart program's roles in supporting your international growth.
Victoria's Commissioners Brett Stevens (the Americas), and Tim Dillon (Ireland, the Nordics and Eastern Europe - based in the UK), will share fresh market intelligence from their regions, covering macroeconomic conditions, consumer trends, and sector-specific opportunities and challenges.

Learn about supply chain challenges and opportunities, as well as resilience strategies from Mark Coleman, Director at ICAL International Customs and Logistics.

A panel discussion featuring trade experts, offering practical guidance on export-readiness and helping attendees understand the pathways to international success.

Receive some practical export guidance with tools and resources to help your business plan for exports from our TradeStart network.

Regional Development Victoria and other government providers will then outline their support services available to you in the region.

The event concludes with a networking lunch, providing valuable opportunities to connect with Commissioners, service providers, and fellow exporters.
