Attending the [Australian Technology Showcase](http://www.ats.business.gov.au/atscm/homepage.aspx?ref=katecarruthers.com) session in Sydney tonight. ATS describes itself as a "promotional and networking government program targeted at small and medium sized Australian business enterprises with innovative, cutting edge technologies."  
  
They actually introduced themselves as "we're from the government and we're here to help", strangely enough I suspect that this is actually true.  
  
Some interesting innovative [technology companies](http://www.ats.business.gov.au/AtsCM/CustomPages.aspx?FunctionID=8&ref=katecarruthers.com) participate in the program and it is great to see them getting this support. One outcome of this program is the building of a community for these hi-tech companies in Australia.  
  
Of real interest to many tech businesses is the strategic export assistance that ATS can provide. There is a real focus on getting Australian businesses exporting and providing support to enable export.  
  
More businesses should know about the Australian Technology Showcase so tell anyone you think might be interested - the [ATS contacts are here](http://www.ats.business.gov.au/contact+the+ats.htm?ref=katecarruthers.com).
