Business SA Chief Operating Officer, Brett Mahoney said that business migrants played a very important role in the State's economy.
"Business migrants not only bring new business to our economy but they also have expertise and business links around the world that many of us can utilise," Mr Mahoney said.
"The export benefits are just one element of the contribution that business migrants bring to South Australia.
"It is essential that we not only attract, but also retain these migrants here in South Australia and the services provided by the Migration for Business Growth program aim to do this.
"The business migrant awards provide worthy recognition to the outstanding businesses across the State and also communicate the success stories that will provide an example for other new businesses to follow.
"The number of award nominees in each category was high and the awards ceremony was sold out again this year. The success of this event reinforces the enthusiasm and energy of our growing business migrant community."
Business SA's Migration for Business Growth is supported by the State Government and the program connects business migrants with the South Australian business sector through initiatives that include business matching, networking, and cross-cultural business issues.
