Queensland’s AI ecosystem is rapidly expanding — spanning innovators, researchers, founders, and industries that are defining Australia’s AI frontier. But who’s really on the map?

Join us for this hybrid event hosted by the Queensland AI Hub and AI Consortium, live from the JCU Ideas Lab, as we explore the findings of the newly released AI Consortium Industry Whitepaper 2025 — “Who’s on the Map? AI Queensland Ecosystem.” You can download the whitepaper here.

This dynamic session will bring together the whitepaper authors, editors, and AI contributors to explore how Queensland’s AI ecosystem is connecting talent, capability, and opportunity across the state.

What to Expect:
- Live Discussion: Insights and highlights from the 2025 Whitepaper – mapping Queensland’s AI talent, research strength, and industrial capability.
- An Interactive Demonstration: See the live development of a Queensland AI ecosystem map, powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) frameworks.
- Productivity Algorithm Preview: Discover how AI can enhance collaboration and innovation pathways across sectors.
- Meet the contributors: Connect with the authors, editors, and thought leaders to influence the direction of the next AI Consortium Whitepaper. Why Attend: Learn how Queensland’s AI landscape is evolving and where new collaborations are forming.

Witness the fusion of AI and data-driven design through a live mapping and algorithm showcase.

Contribute to the ongoing dialogue shaping Queensland’s AI policy, talent pipelines, and innovation ecosystem.
