Leaders from across industry, research and academia, government and the investment community came together on Friday 7 October 2022 for the inaugural Queensland Investment Showcase at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre. Hosted by the Honourable Cameron Dick MP, Treasurer and Minister for Trade and Investment, the Showcase is a high-level business event showcasing Queensland as an investment destination and the place to invest.
The Showcase forms part of the Treasurer’s Invested in Queensland industry engagement program which includes investor forums, round tables and interstate roadshows each year.
A strong health response to COVID-19 accelerated Queensland’s economic recovery from the effects of the pandemic. We are now driving the state’s next phase of growth and are encouraging and supporting increased private sector investment into the economy. Through our partnerships with industry, we’re supercharging economic development and creating a new generation of jobs for Queenslanders. Hosting the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games provides the certainty and confidence needed to trigger increased investment and unlock innovation.
There has never been a better time to invest.
Trade connects Queensland with the world and the world with Queensland. It builds international relations, drives economic prosperity and stimulates innovation. Harnessing the collective efforts of government, business and industry, the Queensland Trade and Investment Strategy 2022-2032 will evolve our established economic strengths and grow new industries.
The implementation of this $150 million Strategy will help to create additional jobs and deliver greater economic benefits for Queensland.
The Strategy will harness Queensland’s prime location at the crossroads of the Asia-Pacific – close to the world’s fastest growing markets – and assist Queensland businesses to evolve to meet changing worldwide demand.
