Vision
This is the Queensland Government’s vision for innovation precincts and places:
Innovation precincts and places where new world‑leading products and solutions are concentrated for long-term economic growth and jobs for Queensland.
The ten-year strategy — A Place to Innovate — establishes how Queensland will achieve its goals, based on three key pillars:
- People — empowering people to collaborate and thrive
- Place — maximising innovation from infrastructure
- Purpose — harnessing opportunities and achievements.

Stream 1
