<font color="#333333" size="2" face="Arial"> <p> <font size="1">Minister for Small Business, Information Technology Policy and Multicultural Affairs<br> The Honourable Chris Cummins</font><br> Wednesday, June 07, 2006 </font> <p><font color="#333333" size="2" face="Arial"> Two innovative, information and communications technology (ICT) companies will receive up to $5,000 each from the Beattie Government to offset their costs in attending recent overseas trade shows.</font></p> <p><font color="#333333" size="2" face="Arial">Minister for Small Business and Information Technology Policy Chris Cummins today announced Tingalpa’s Madison Technologies and Carindale’s Outback Imaging Pty Ltd as successful applicants in the latest round of the International Trade Show Assistance Program (ITSAP).</font></p> <p><font color="#333333" size="2" face="Arial">“Madison Technologies, a telecommunications/ICT product supplier and manufacturer, is building its market presence in the Middle East,” Mr Cummins said.</font></p> <p><font color="#333333" size="2" face="Arial">“The company is a major supplier of ICT structured cabling systems and related products to telecommunications, broadcast, audiovisual, data, security and electrical wholesale businesses.</font></p> <p><font color="#333333" size="2" face="Arial">“The company turned over about $8 million in 2002 and more than $30 million in 2005, with growth attributed to huge demand for the company’s cutting-edge fibre optic technology.”</font></p> <p><font color="#333333" size="2" face="Arial">Mr Cummins said following successful bids for a number of lucrative contracts in Dubai, the company opened an office in Bahrain in January this year, its first off-shore business unit.</font></p> <p><font color="#333333" size="2" face="Arial">Madison Technologies attended Project Qatar 2006, the 4th International Trade Exhibition for Construction Technology, Building Materials, Equipment and Environmental Technology in Doha, Qatar, in May.</font></p> <p><font color="#333333" size="2" face="Arial">Madison Technologies’ Managing Director and owner David Redfern said Doha was becoming one of the hottest construction spots in the world, with US$50 billion planned for public sector infrastructure projects. </font></p> <p><font color="#333333" size="2" face="Arial">“The Qatari government is actively diversifying the national economy from being dependant on oil to a multifunctional one and this has resulted in a big boom in the construction sector, including modernising the country’s infrastructure,” Mr Redfern said.</font></p> <p><font color="#333333" size="2" face="Arial">“So the exhibition offered a fantastic opportunity to us to get in on the action – through contact with local government and business leaders and by displaying our products and services.”</font></p> <p><font color="#333333" size="2" face="Arial">Mr Cummins said Madison had also received a $20,000 Queensland Industry Development Scheme grant in 2000.</font></p> <p><font color="#333333" size="2" face="Arial">Outback Imaging, formed in 2002, is an Australian-owned software research and development company specialising in document capture, through scanning, importing, conversion, routing and output.</font></p> <p><font color="#333333" size="2" face="Arial">Mr Cummins said the company had attended the 2006 Association of Information and Image Management (AIIM) Conference and Expo in Philadelphia in May.</font></p> <p><font color="#333333" size="2" face="Arial">Outback’s Managing Director Mike Kirkby said the AIIM Conference and Expo was one of the world’s largest content and information management events and this year attracted more than 20,000 visitors from 62 countries. </font></p> <p><font color="#333333" size="2" face="Arial">“This funding support has also given us the opportunity to gain access to the CEOs and managing directors of many overseas organisations,” he said.</font></p> <p><font color="#333333" size="2" face="Arial">“This is important. If you’re going to break into international markets, you need to establish the key contacts and global alliances to ensure success. While you can establish some of those via email and phone from back home, really, pressing the flesh is the best way to make enduring partnerships.</font></p> <p><font color="#333333" size="2" face="Arial">“Thanks to the Queensland Government, we’ve been able to do just that and we’re hoping we can now build on the alliances we’ve formed in Philadelphia.”</font></p> <p><font color="#333333" size="2" face="Arial">Mr Cummins said the ITSAP program had so far helped Queensland businesses generate immediate export sales of close to $5.4 million.</font></p> <p><font color="#333333" size="2" face="Arial">Biotech or ICT businesses with identified export markets or export ready products or services should apply for International Trade Show Assistance Program funding.</font></p> <p><font color="#333333" size="2" face="Arial">ITSAP Round 14 opens on 13th June and closes on 14th July.
