Our roadmap

Our six priorities

• Priority 1. Capital attraction

  We want to make Queensland a more welcoming state for investors. Getting more capital funding will help us to start, grow, attract and retain more innovative businesses.

  Outcome: Greater investment attraction and more innovative businesses starting, growing and staying in Queensland

• Priority 2. Research collaboration and commercialisation

  Turning great research into commercial opportunities is key to building a thriving innovation economy. Better research-business collaboration is vital for success.

  Outcome: Queensland’s research and collaborations are translated into creating commercialisation opportunities.

• Priority 3. Talent, skills and new technologies

  A sustainable future needs a growing tech sector, skilled workforce and support for new industry growth. We want to encourage STEM, support our young people to become future entrepreneurs and our priority industries to innovate.

  Outcome: Queensland’s existing and emerging priority industries and talent are globally competitive.

• Priority 4. Innovative and sustainable solutions

  We need ideas, sustainable solutions and businesses that can grow from startups to enterprises. Major events like the Olympics can stimulate ideas, partnerships and address challenges.

  Outcome: Queensland’s big challenges and events are supported through innovative and sustainable solutions

• Priority 5. Innovation precincts and places

  Building innovation infrastructure and networks encourage sharing and collaboration. Hubs of researchers, students, entrepreneurs and investors will drive innovation and growth.

  Outcome: Queensland has world-class innovation infrastructure to drive ideas through to commercialisation, adoption and diffusion

• Priority 6. Connected and inclusive ecosystem

  Diversity and inclusivity are crucial for a bright future. We’ll prioritise support for regional, female and First Nations innovators and other diverse communities for a strong and sustainable innovation ecosystem that benefits all Queenslanders.

  Outcome: Queensland has a well-connected, inclusive and thriving innovation ecosystem
