The Queensland Government’s 2032 Delivery Plan released in March, sets the roadmap for infrastructure, economic growth, regional development, and global engagement.

Queensland is leaning into global markets

Tak Adachi, Trade and Investment Queensland's Senior Trade and Investment Commissioner, North Asia said there’s never been a better time to work with Queensland.

"At a time when many markets are becoming more inward-looking, Queensland is leaning into open, rules-based, trusted trade and investment,” Mr Adachi said.
