Treasurer Cameron Dick said the grants would allow growing Queensland businesses to tap into valuable overseas export opportunities.

"Our New Market Program is about taking Queensland to the world," he said.

"Delivered through Trade and Investment Queensland, this program offers matched grants of up to $25,000 to export-ready Queensland businesses.

"This funding can be used to produce promotional collateral, for freight, to assist with sample distribution and market-specific certifications, or to attend international tradeshows.

"These grants can be the link between a factory in Queensland and the facilitation of a multimillion-dollar deal and new Queensland jobs."           

One recipient of the grant is Mackay-based 2Censor. The company uses its technology to monitor pipelines, storage bins, and chutes for wear and tear, or bearings for hot spots.

Its system tracks assets and provides trending, alarming, and data analytics to streamline plant efficiency.

Another recipient is the Brisbane-based Mining Skills Australia, which is a supplier of training through competency-based and proficiency-based programs.

The company is further expanding its range of services through eLearning capabilities, via its eLearning management system for remote locations or a blended learning approach. It is developing customised training packages for the mining industry nationally and globally.

"Increased trade and overseas investment are key to Queensland's prosperity," Dick said.

"As global economies look to recoup and recover from the impacts of COVID-19, the importance of trade and investment has never been greater."
