On 7 July 2026, Austrade confirmed its Landing Pads program continues into FY2026-27, after supporting 327 Australian scaleups through 13 programs over the prior 12 months across five markets: Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, the UK and the US. The government program connects founders in fintech, AI, medtech and green-economy sectors with in-market experts, networks and customers, and Austrade says many participants have secured contracts or are in negotiations.
