Doing business in Queensland

Australia has the twelfth largest economy in the world, and the northern State of Queensland drives almost 20 percent of that activity.

As a natural resources and innovation hub, Queensland is an outstanding investment destination. Because of our close links in the fast-growing Asia-Pacific region, we can offer investors opportunities unavailable anywhere else.

A safe and easy place to do business, Queensland offers a stable and transparent environment that protects your commercial and intellectual assets. Together with a relaxed lifestyle, sub-tropical climate, and high standard of living, Queensland is your best choice for investing in Australia.

Now is the time to seize the exciting and varied opportunities available only in Queensland. We invite you to invest in our established industries of agriculture, resources, and infrastructure – as well as new technologies such as advanced manufacturing, bio-futures, biomedical and renewable energy.

The Trade and Investment Queensland team have the knowledge and connections to help you create your Queensland success story.
