The Australian Technology Showcase (ATS) is designed to promote
leading edge, innovative Australian technologies globally. The ATS is a national program with
initiatives driven at the state level to help members increase export and attract foreign and local
venture capital.
The Queensland Government has been a keen supporter of the ATS since its inception in April 1997.
The focus of the ATS demonstrates the state government's commitment to the promotion of Queensland
science, engineering and technology internationally, and serves to increase awareness of Queensland's capabilities, world-class skills and technologies.
