Quarterdeck Labs embeds directly into METS, manufacturing and defence businesses to execute AI-powered export strategy — fully done for you, with outcomes you can measure.
Fully refundable when you convert to a retainer. No risk to understand your opportunity.
Australian METS and manufacturing companies are producing world-class technology — equipment, software and specialist services that mining and industrial sectors globally desperately need.
But most are growing reactively: a tender here, a referral there, a conference trip that went somewhere. There's no systematic export engine, no dedicated resource who owns it, and no AI-powered infrastructure behind the effort.
That's the gap Quarterdeck Labs fills. We become part of your business — not a consultant who writes a report and disappears.
Mining Equipment, Technology & Services. The backbone of Australia's $15B+ global METS sector — and historically underleveraged in international markets.
Industrial manufacturers with differentiated product or process IP, looking to enter Asia-Pacific, Americas, or African markets systematically.
Australian defence and dual-use technology companies navigating international offset requirements, ITAR, and government-to-government sales pathways.
A deep-dive diagnostic of your export readiness, AI automation gaps, and international market positioning. Delivered as an actionable strategic roadmap.
15–20 hours/month of embedded work. We become part of your business — running the export strategy and AI systems alongside you, not from the outside.
Once the first market is running, add further export markets at a fraction of the base retainer cost. Each additional country gets dedicated strategy and execution.
ICP mapping, market entry sequencing, competitive analysis, and go-to-market planning for each target country. Built on data, not guesswork.
Custom AI workflows for prospect research, personalised outreach, content creation, and reporting. We build the machine — your team doesn't need to touch it.
Content, LinkedIn strategy, conference presence, and digital channels targeting your exact buyer in each export market. In-language where required.
AI-powered list building and signal-based targeting to identify the right decision-makers in your target markets — then systematic, personalised engagement.
Export pipeline setup, tracking, and reporting so you always know where every international opportunity stands — and what it's worth.
Austrade EMDG program guidance, TradeStart coordination, and industry body engagement (METS Ignited, CME). We know the ecosystem.
The Export Market Development Grant (EMDG) reimburses eligible export promotion expenses — including advisory and marketing retainer costs. For most of our clients, this effectively halves the cost of working with us.
The $1k audit gets you a real plan. The retainer gets you someone who builds and runs it.
Our retainers qualify under the Export Market Development Grant program.
The Export Market Development Grant (EMDG) scheme reimburses up to 50% of eligible export promotion expenses. Quarterdeck Labs retainer fees are EMDG-eligible, meaning the Australian Government effectively co-funds your export growth programme.
We understand the Austrade program structure — our 12-month minimum retainer aligns exactly with EMDG application requirements. We help clients navigate the application process as part of every engagement.
