Winning the Emerging Exporter award was a proud moment for the Hysta team. We’re an Australian deep technology company developing and manufacturing high-efficiency electrolysers – the equipment used to produce green hydrogen from renewable energy. Our partners span Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, and building these international relationships has been central to our commercialisation strategy from day one. Australia has a remarkable ecosystem of clean energy technology companies, and it’s exciting to see homegrown innovators manufacturing globally competitive products right here. Hysata is proud to be part of that story by developing breakthrough electrolyser technology in Australia and exporting it to the world.

The Export Council plays a valuable role in championing this community, and were grateful for the recognition and the platform to share our story.

Exporting native Australian botanicals into global markets requires careful attention to evolving trade requirements and regulatory expectations. Engagement with the Export Council of Australia provides a valuable opportunity to stay informed about the broader export environment while participating in discussions that affect Australian exporters. ECA’s forums and industry dialogue also create space for exporters to share experiences, exchange perspectives, and learn from one another’s journeys in international markets. Having a platform that brings together practical insight and industry knowledge is important for supporting businesses in taking Australian products to the world.

For SunRice Group, exporting Australian-grown rice and food products to more than 50 markets is central to our business. The Export Council of Australia (ECA) plays an important role in elevating the profile of businesses like ours and recognising the strength and diversity of Australian exporters. Our engagement with the ECA, particularly through the Export Awards program, has highlighted the value of bringing exporters together to share insights, learn from one another’s experiences, and strengthen Australia’s position in global markets. Recognition through initiatives like the Export Awards also shines a light on the regional communities and growers who underpin our supply chain and make our export success possible.

As Humanitix continues expanding internationally, being part of Australia’s export community has been incredibly valuable. The Export Council of Australia provides a space where organisations like ours can engage with other exporters, exchange perspectives, and build relationships across industries. As part of ECA’s initiatives and events, we have had the opportunity to share our journey, gain insights from other exporting businesses, and connect with leaders across the trade community. That exchange of knowledge and experience helps strengthen Australia’s export landscape while supporting companies like us as we continue scaling our impact globally.
