Deputy Premier and Treasurer’s Message

Queensland is growing. With a pro-business government; proximity to fast-growing Asian economies; a well-educated and skilled workforce; and enviable liveability, it makes great business sense to invest and do business in Queensland.

Hosting the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games is giving us the added certainty and confidence to accelerate the momentum that is already building in Queensland’s growing economy. We are partnering with the private sector and industry on significant projects, increasing investment and unlocking innovation. We are also partnering with our world-class research and development facilities, universities, and knowledge precincts, to ensure Queensland and its business community are at the forefront of innovation and commercialisation.

Our future-focused plans and partnerships are driving new investment across industry sectors including infrastructure, renewable energy and resources, biomedical, defence and aerospace, aviation, and tourism. This investment is fuelling Queensland’s fast-growing economy, creating a new generation of highly skilled jobs and supporting industry development.

Our Queensland Energy and Jobs Plan is a prime example of our future-focused plans. It offers an abundance of opportunities for new industries, employment and investment, while developing a modern electricity system that delivers clean, reliable and affordable energy.

In my role as the Minister for Trade and Investment, I know it is important to make it as easy as possible for companies to move forward with investment decisions.

The Treasury portfolio is uniquely positioned to service your investment and trade plans. It includes our Investment group in Queensland Treasury; Trade and Investment Queensland; Queensland Investment Corporation; and Queensland Treasury Corporation. Collectively, Queensland Treasury is your starting point for investment advice and facilitation including access to global partners in key markets across Asia, Americas, United Kingdom and Europe.

The Queensland Treasury team stands ready to help make your journey to invest in Queensland smooth and efficient. We look forward to working with you to unlock new opportunities for job creation, technological innovation, industry expansion, and export success.

Start your investment journey today with Queensland Treasury for sustainable and long-term business growth and prosperity.
