MEDIA RELEASE 20th MAY, 2003 GMT. BYTEGEIST SOFTWARE EXPORT SUCCESS Tuesday, 9 March 2004. Original article by Austrade.
Austrade’s Industry specialist for the Information Communication Technology (ICT) sector Tony Burchill said the growing digital and web services industry represented an enormous opportunity for NSW companies. “Australian ICT companies are attracting global attention for excellence in niche areas of digital content production and the rest of the world is starting to sit up and take notice,” Mr Burchill said. “The road show will be a chance for Austrade to show local ICT companies how they can get their share of this lucrative export market.” According to the recently released From Cottages to Corporations report, a vibrant, creative digital industry will shift Australia from being a net importer of over $1 billion of content in 2000/2001 to being a potential net exporter of $1.5 billion by 2010. “The success of Australian eLearning companies in the UK and the fact that the technology-heavy Matrix movies were filmed in Australia are both indicators that we do have quality technology in Australia,” Mr Burchill said. The Digital Content and Web Services Road Show will focus on export opportunities available to Web development firms, online payment/billing companies, computer-based training companies, graphic design firms and digital designers. Tom Kennedy, Chief Executive of Digital Content consultants Hyro Limited, a company that played a key role in formulating the federal government’s policy on digital content, Robert Hutchinson and Domenic Friguglietto, from the ABC, will be among the guest speakers. “Mr Kennedy, Mr Hutchison and Mr Friguglietto are digital content experts who will be able to give up to date information on the state of the industry and participants will be able to take enormous benefit from the quality of their advice and experiences,“ Mr Burchill said. Sydney based company Bytegeist Software exports its specialist game and graphics technology to the UK, US and New Zealand and encourages other NSW technology companies to come along to the road show to learn how to take their ideas to the world. “Austrade has provided our company with marketing advice, education and financial assistance through the Export Marketing Development Grant (EMDG),” CEO Jed Fisher said. “Your company may be eligible to receive this sort of support so come along to the road show in Sydney to see what Austrade can do for you,” Mr Fisher said.
