Smart connections for smart investments

Queensland is an Australian leader in technological infrastructure.

Our Sunshine Coast region offers:

• the fastest connection point to Asia on Australia’s east coast,
• the second-fastest connection to the USA, and
• a high-speed connection to Sydney (18 TBps internationally and 24 TBps to interstate locations).

This is via a 550 km undersea fibre-optic cable connected to the 7,000 km Japan–Guam–Australia South cable.

Cybersecurity for business

Queensland is the only Australian state to host three government-backed Cyber Security Innovation Nodes. Located in the capital of Brisbane, on the Sunshine Coast and in Townsville, these nodes enhance cybersecurity for business – with a focus on knowledge industries, such as financial technology, advanced manufacturing and defence.

Benefits include:

• increased cybersecurity capability and protection,
• cybersecurity talent and education programs, and
• support for cybersecurity exports.
