Australian Businesses contributes $0.5mil total GDP whilst Mid-Markets contributes $16.5mil total GDP. Many mid-size businesses are either struggling to grow or struggling with growth. While there is a genuine opportunity to drive a new wave of growth for Australia’s mid-market sector, many businesses are not sure where to begin? Not knowing what to do and how to scale is the major reason why so few mid-market companies break through and become large companies. Unfortunately too many end up falling back and becoming small companies again. It is vital that mid-market business leaders understand how to manage their challenges, capitalize on trends and opportunities, and achieve their growth potential. Mid-Market Business is Australia’s economic success story • Medium- Sized Businesses keeps the economy strong • Medium- Sized Businesses employee more than a third of all workers in Australia • Medium- Sized Businesses responsible for more than of the revenue earned by Australian companies Our Mid-Market Business Forum themed around Future Market Growth, Leadership and Productivity provides a great opportunity for leaders across the mid-market sector to learn about and discuss the issues and trends that are shaping the future of medium sized business and are driving it forward.
