Strong economy

Creating a diverse economy powered by bright ideas

Our Q2 ambition is to build a strong Queensland, ensuring that the great lifestyle and environment we enjoy today can be enjoyed in the future.

Queensland‘s record investment in infrastructure and key growth industries is generating jobs. Substantial investment has resulted in Queensland performing well against other Australian states in business innovation and research and development.

Achieving our targets

We measure our progress toward two clear targets for Queensland:

• Queensland is Australia's strongest economy, with infrastructure that anticipates growth
• Increase by 50 per cent the proportion of Queensland businesses undertaking research and development or innovation
