Advance Queensland is now ready to move to the next phase, capitalising on its successes and accelerating economic growth opportunities for Queensland in the lead-up to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Our Future
The Advance Queensland – Innovation for a Future Economy: 2022–2032 Roadmap sets out the direction, key priority outcomes and initiatives for the next phase in Queensland’s innovation journey.
