What is Austrade?

Austrade is the Australian Trade Commission, an agency of the Australian Government whose mission is to promote export trade for Australian companies. It achieves this goal by helping Australian companies develop international markets for their products and services and by helping organisations in countries such as Russia to find Australian suppliers and business partners.
