A Victorian Government Business Lounge, an initiative of the Victorian Government Department of State Development, Business and Innovation (DSDBI), will be open to foodpro 2014 visitors.

The lounge will be open to foodpro visitors not only from Victoria, but also to those interstate and international visitors interested in doing business in the host state.

The Department’s business development managers will use the Business Lounge to meet with foodpro visitors and introduce a range of Government programs on offer.

Food manufacturers visiting the event can find out how the Victorian Government can help them enter new export markets, adopt new technology, collaborate with other businesses, overcome barriers to market, and access government support.

“The Business Lounge means that visitors can not only come to foodpro to see how the latest technology can make their businesses more efficient, but they can also be educated on the many ways Government can help grow their business,” foodpro exhibition manager Peter Petherick said.

“We commend the Victorian State Government and DSDBI on the initiative and believe it’s a great way to stimulate innovation and investment opportunities in Australia’s thriving food manufacturing sector.

Visitors interested in pre-booking a meeting at foodpro with a DSDBI business development manager can do so through the foodpro website.

foodpro 2014 will run from Sunday June 22 to Wednesday June 25 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, Southbank.
