International relations and advocacy

Trade is underpinned by relationships. Nowhere is this more important than in the international environment. Raising the profile of Tasmania, the Tasmanian brand and Tasmanian businesses in key international markets is integral to trade success.

Each year, the Trade and International Relations team facilitates a range of activities in Tasmania and internationally, to create new and leverage existing relationships with international stakeholders across government, business and industry, to raise the profile of our state.

The team works closely with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Austrade, to align Tasmania’s international relations with the Australian Government’s strategies. We showcase Tasmania’s capabilities and our opportunities through diplomatic visits. Our trade market insights help us to advise the State Government on enhancing trade and investment outcomes, benefiting the Tasmanian economy.
