On behalf of the Board of Economic Development Australia (EDA), I am thrilled to announce the finalists in the 2024 National Economic Development Awards for Excellence.
Our judges acknowledge the high calibre of applications, proving that Australian economic development professionals are employing world-class, place-based solutions to improve community prosperity across the country.
Through these awards we recognise the remarkable organisations and individuals demonstrating leadership and excellence in economic development.
All our wonderful finalists and their projects will be acknowledged during the National Economic Development Conference (NEDC) to be held from October 16-18 in Melbourne, Naarm. Winners will be announced at the Awards Gala Event, in the stunning Ballroom Plaza at Regent Theatre on 17 October 2024 from 6pm.
