Queensland is the fastest growing economy in Australia and enjoys some of the highest levels of business confidence in the nation.

Our state is in close proximity to major markets in Asia and with Queensland’s abundant natural resources, existing infrastructure, highly skilled workforce, history of innovation, pro-business environment, and standard of living, there has never been a better time to invest.

Queensland’s capital city, Brisbane, is set to host the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games and our state is ready to embrace and maximise the significant investment and export opportunities that come with hosting the greatest show on earth.

Brisbane 2032 has further enhanced Queensland’s many strengths and the huge scale of the investment opportunities available here across a range of sectors and industries, right now. Learn more through the Investment Prospectus.

Queensland Fast Facts

Queensland is becoming a globally competitive Asia-Pacific biomedical industry hub. Our technologies, products, systems, and services are innovative, sustainable and embedded in local and global supply chains.

The biomedical and life sciences sector is thriving in Queensland. Our internationally renowned research institutes and scientific capabilities are strongly positioned to assume an important role in the global value chain. Hosting two of Australia’s leading biopharmaceutical contract manufacturers provides an excellent opportunity for large-scale biomedical companies looking to invest and expand their presence in the Asia-Pacific. 

With modern translational facilities and fast, pragmatic regulatory pathways, our infrastructure is a commercially focused platform for growth. Investors will find many compelling opportunities in this area – particularly around vaccine and medical device manufacturing, drug development, and the translation of biomedical discoveries.  

Queensland’s robust regulatory and tax environment, as well as access to world-class researchers and clinicians, create an ideal market for prototyping, testing, and conducting clinical trials.

The Advance Queensland Biomedical 10-Year Roadmap and Action Plan highlights the collaborative approach between government and industry to further grow this priority sector, which is already a major employer and contributor to the state economy.
