This week marks the 5th birthday for the Queensland Government's Advance Queensland initiative – and we want you to help us commemorate this milestone!
Launched in 2015 as a $180 million investment, Advance Queensland has become a $755 million initiative that is now backed by more than $848 million from program partners.
Working in partnership with nine Queensland Government departments and the broader innovation ecosystem, together we have invested more than $1 billion to make Queensland’s innovation economy stronger.
Queenslanders are at the heart of what we do and we want to celebrate your successes and highlight the thriving talent across our state. Our 5th birthday is an ideal opportunity to reflect on our progress and commemorate the achievements of Queensland’s innovation ecosystem.
Join Dr Sarah Pearson, Deputy Director-General, Department of State Development, Tourism and Innovation for a special virtual event as she discusses the future of innovation in Queensland with special guests:
