PRESS RELEASE: Extraordinary export achievements by Queensland education company STEM Punks

Latest Press Release

A business specialising in STEM Education has been named as a finalist in the prestigious 2023 Premier of Queensland’s Export Awards. Proudly presented by Trade and Investment Queensland, these awards celebrate Queensland businesses for their innovation and determination as they strive to expand their global footprints.

The business started with coding and robotics classes in a suburban garage six years ago and is now thriving in overseas markets, despite over three of those years in a global pandemic. STEM Punks specialises in STEM, Space, and Sustainability programs for school students that are curriculum-aligned and linked with industry.

STEM Punks’ success in export activities has been supported by TIQ which co-founder Fiona Holmstrom said provided invaluable introductions to industry and connections in overseas countries, “STEM Punks has gained traction in the US where we’ve opened an office in Austin, Texas. Another important region of South East Asia has opened for us where we’ve started programs in Vietnam and Singapore. Oman and Kuwait are also new markets for 2023/24. TIQ have been there to help us navigate previously unattainable markets due to language barriers or lack of industry contacts.”

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said, “Queensland exports high-quality products and services to every corner of the globe, known for their ingenuity, creativity and passion.”

Holmstrom, also a finalist in the Women in International Business category, said “TIQ have vast experience and longevity in the markets we’re entering, and through their global network have been incredibly helpful to us when breaking new ground internationally. These awards are testament to our passion to help change children’s lives all over the world through quality STEM education.”

The awards will be presented at a gala dinner at the Brisbane Exhibition and Convention Centre on 18 October 2023.
