Nominal Systems, a Canberra based digital engineering solutions provider specialising in the space and defence sectors, has been named the 2022 ACT Exporter of the Year at the awards ceremony at the National Museum of Australia on 21 September.
Their digital engineering platform, Nominal, helps organisations rapidly explore, understand, and optimise their products and processes in a safe-to-fail environment.
Nominal is yet another Canberran exporter success story with contracts in major international markets such as the United Kingdom. The company has also won the Advanced Technologies award category.
ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr said “growing the ACT’s exports is critical to expanding and diversifying the Canberra economy, trade gradually normalising as we emerge from the global pandemic”.
“As our government looks to rekindle international relationships and seize new opportunities for the Territory, award winners create a platform to showcase what Canberra has to offer to the world.”
The awards are delivered by Canberra Business Chamber. Chamber CEO Graham Catt said “the private sector provides over 63 per cent of Canberra’s jobs, with many of those in local small and medium businesses”.
“Our exporting businesses show us how Canberra SME’s can be world leaders in their industries and have adapted, innovated, and changed their operating models over the past few years to create new opportunities in global markets.”
The Export Awards operate as a two-tier process. The winner of each category in the ACT Chief Minister’s Export Award program progresses as a finalist in the Australian Export Awards. The ACT winners in eight categories will progress as national finalists.
Virtual freelance communications agency Catch the Sun Communications took home the award for Creative Industries while mobile remittance service Rocket Remit won the E-Commerce award.
Biometrics company BixeLab won both the Emerging Exporter and Exporting Government Solutions awards, while cybersecurity company Teron Labs bagged the award in the Professional Services category.
The Resources and Energy award was won by security and software company Ardexa, while racing information and technology company Racing and Sports claimed the award in the Small Business category.
