Science and innovation drive Queensland’s economic diversification and resilience. By applying advanced research across key sectors such as tourism, manufacturing and agriculture, we strengthen competitiveness, enable Queensland made solutions, and build a future ready workforce and sovereign capability. This commitment is underpinned by an estimated Queensland Government investment of almost $1 billion over four years in science and innovation.
This strategy sets a clear direction, delivered through a “Team Queensland” approach aligned with existing strategies. Together we will co-ordinate efforts to leverage our position as a leader in science and innovation and maximise opportunities ahead of and beyond the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
As Team Queensland, we can leverage partnerships, attract investment and unlock capital to boost productivity, economic growth and wellbeing for Queenslanders.
