Trade and Investment Queensland is the Queensland Government’s dedicated global business agency, helping Queensland exporters take their products to world markets and promoting Queensland as the perfect place for investment.

Trade connects Queensland with the world and the world with Queensland. It builds international relations, drives economic prosperity and stimulates innovation.

Queensland’s priority industries remain key to our trade and investment profile. They will continue to evolve to meet global demand by diversifying products and services, as well as value-adding through specialist knowledge, technology and innovation.

Trade is also essential to Queensland’s economic growth. The Strategy recognises that Queensland’s largest export industries - mining, food and agribusiness, tourism and international education and training - will continue to drive trade and job creation, and that the competitiveness of these industries will be boosted by innovative technologies and business practices.

At the same time, the Strategy strengthens collaboration between business and government to deploy innovation and create industries of the future, including mining equipment, technology and services, defence and aerospace, advanced manufacturing, biomedical and life sciences, renewable energy and biofutures.
