The Australian Bureau of Statistics reports that Australian small businesses in 2007-2008 exported 39% of goods, but that was only 1% of export revenue.
Over the same period, large companies exported 10% of goods, but made up 93% of export revenue.
The OECD reports that only 9% of Australian businesses cooperate with a partner in the creative process of a new venture and only 5% collaborate with a research institution.
To address these issues, in 2007, research and industry bodies formed Embedded Systems Australia, to ensure that small businesses had the necessary connections for assistance in developing new technology products and systems.
In August, at the Retail Expo in Melbourne, success stories in Point Of Sale marketing and radio frequency identification technology, and wireless technology for dedicated short range communication, were displayed.
The wireless technology project had seed funding from the NSW government, with the individual companies involved owing a percentage of the new business.
Embedded Systems Australia is keen to have small firms cooperate to share the work in Australia’s National Broadband Network development and also is reaching school students to encourage them to look at careers in technology.
Small businesses have a very real disadvantage regarding capacity and access to funding compared to large companies and this is a step in closing that gap.
We help small Australian businesses to compete effectively by providing prospects from our Local Search facility in our Business Directory, with no cost for the 1.2 million businesses listed, most of which are small businesses.
