The 55th Australian Export Awards took place in Canberra on 5th December 2017.
Before the ceremony Cogito Group enjoyed a National Finalists’ Masterclass at Kurrajong Hotel. This included a keynote presentation by Dr Michael Rosemann, Executive Director from QUT. He focused on how digitisation will impact the business environment, what the implications are for Australian businesses and what we need to be doing now, to ensure we remain globally competitive into the future. After this presentation there was an informative panel discussion.
