/by

We’re thrilled to announce that Genics has collected another feather for our cap, taking home the Product Innovation Award at the Lord Mayor’s Business Awards last week.

The Lord Mayor’s Business Awards are hosted annually by the City of Brisbane through the Brisbane Economic Development Agency. The awards recognise outstanding companies driving positive change for the future. Now in its 18th year, the awards have honoured 157 businesses and economic leaders across a wide range of industries.

The 2023 Lord Mayor’s Business Awards winners, including Genics, were announced at the Gala Dinner last Friday, October 20. Speaking at the ceremony on Friday, Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner said that the awards celebrated the unwavering pursuit of innovation and creativity in the Brisbane business community.

“Small and medium businesses continue to face immense challenges as the cost of living rises, but Brisbane’s businesses are showing incredible resilience,” Cr Schrinner said. “The 2023 awards once again recognise world-class innovators and change-makers who are driving Brisbane’s economic future. Their dedication to sustainability, growth, and community impact is inspiring and showcases the immense talent of individuals and organisations within our city. These awards are a way for our city to recognise the unwavering commitment of our business network in curating an environment where innovation, technology, creativity, and sustainability shine.”

Genics was presented with the “Accenture Australia Product Innovation Award” at the gala ceremony. This award recognises Genics for “providing early pathogen detection, biosecurity management and breeding programs for the national and global shrimp industry.”

Genics’ Chairman Roger Sayers was in attendance to receive Genics’ award on behalf of the company. In his remarks from the podium, he noted Genics continued commitment to biotechnology innovation and thanked the City of Brisbane for its continued support of local businesses and job creation.

Trade and Investment Queensland hosted the annual Premier of Queensland’s Export Awards last night, and it was a night to remember for Genics, emerging as the proud winners in the Small Business category.

The Premier of Queensland’s Export Awards is a prestigious annual event celebrating the outstanding achievements of export-oriented businesses in Queensland. It’s a platform that recognizes and applauds companies that are not only thriving in the domestic market but also making their mark in the global arena by introducing innovative Australian products to the world. 

The 2023 awards night saw 43 companies vie for recognition in this prestigious competition, competing across 15 categories. The announcement of the 2023 award winners was made by Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and Treasurer and Minister for Trade and Investment Cameron Dick. 

Genics triumphed in the Small Business category, showcasing its dedication to punching above its weight in the global agricultural technology sphere. This victory represents a significant milestone for Genics and a gratifying recognition of the company’s contribution to the Queensland export industry over the last twelve months.

A substantial contingent of Genics team members was at the ceremony for the award presentation, adding to the moment’s significance. Among them were: Dr. Melony Sellars, the CEO and Managing Director, whose leadership has played a pivotal role in guiding Genics towards success; Roger Sayers, Non-Executive Director and Chairman; and Dirk Krueger, Chief Commercial Officer and Director. Also in attendance to celebrate were Dr. Ralf Moser, R&D Director, Dr. Joanna Gerszon, Senior R&D Scientist, Michael Speirs, Head of Digital Solutions, Louise Franz, Commercial Operations Manager, and Senior Scientist, and Emmanuel Marshall, Senior Marketing and Communications Manager.

Genics’ victory in the Small Business category is a motivational boost for the whole team. The company’s commitment to innovation and quality, exporting Australian products to the world market, continues to yield welcome accolades. This recognition reflects not only our success but also the energy and ambition of the Queensland technology, farming and exporting communities.

Our sincere thanks go out to our many supporters in both the commercial and scholarly realms, our partners in the farming and aquaculture industries, and of course to Trade and Investment Queensland, organisers of the Premier of Queensland’s Export Awards. 

Genics has consistently demonstrated its ability to stand out in Queensland’s competitive small business landscape. Dedication to research and development, creation of unique digital solutions, and the commitment of an exceptional team have been pivotal to the company’s growth and success. We’re proud of our capability to excel in the domestic market, and we’ll continue to take our ideas to the global stage.
