Your world-class technology
deserves international
markets.
Quarterdeck Labs embeds directly into METS, manufacturing and defence businesses to execute 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.
Built for Australian heavy industry companies ready to grow globally.
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 systematic 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.
METS Companies
Mining Equipment, Technology & Services. The backbone of Australia's $15B+ global METS sector — and historically underleveraged in international markets.
Advanced Manufacturing
Industrial manufacturers with differentiated product or process IP, looking to enter Asia-Pacific, Americas, or African markets systematically.
Defence Supply Chain
Australian defence and dual-use technology companies navigating international offset requirements, ITAR, and government-to-government sales pathways.
Not consulting. Not a retainer for reports. Embedded execution.
Growth Audit
A deep-dive diagnostic of your export readiness, automation gaps, and international market positioning. Delivered as an actionable strategic roadmap.
Core Retainer
Embedded execution — export strategy, AI systems, international BD, and pipeline management. We work inside your business, not as an outside consultant.
Country Scaling
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.
Full-Stack Marketing
Content, LinkedIn, outbound, brand, and digital — all five channels run as an addon to your export retainer. Connected to your pipeline, not siloed from it.
From audit to international market — a clear route.

The markets your competitors are already in.
Our retainer fees can be up to 50% reimbursed by the Australian Government.
The Export Market Development Grant (EMDG) reimburses eligible export promotion expenses — including advisory, automation, and marketing retainer costs. For most of our clients, this effectively halves the cost of working with us.
We're not consultants.
We don't write reports.
The $1k audit gets you a real plan. The retainer gets you someone who builds and runs it.
Report delivered. Good luck.
Embedded. Accountable. Systematic.
EMDG Eligible
Our retainers qualify under the Export Market Development Grant program.
Make Austrade work for your export budget.
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.
