Priority 4 Build export capabilities
Queensland's well-educated and skilled workforce supports continued growth in the economy.
A strong future relies on the ability of the current and next generation of Queenslanders
to respond to global challenges such as limited natural resources, changing market
demographics, financial constraints and digital disruption.
Empowering new exporters and startups
The Queensland Government actively supports the growth
and international expansion of new exporters and startups
because they contribute significantly to Queensland's
economic development.
The Advance Queensland initiative will help Queensland
startups commercialise products and services in order to
secure investment for overseas expansion.
The Queensland Government also builds relationships in
overseas markets to assist Queensland companies with
their market entry. Accelerators, incubators and co-working
hubs offer facilities, advice, and contacts for Queenslanders
looking to undertake entrepreneurial activities in a number
of local and international markets.
Current action: The Queensland Government signed
a Statement of Intent with Dubai South in September
2016. This agreement will create new opportunities for
Queensland businesses to expand and develop their
products and services in the United Arab Emirates and
the Middle East region.
In competitive global markets, businesses need to
stand out. Stakeholder feedback indicated that products
and services that are quality assured can be more
appealing to buyers and investors.
New initiative: Implement a Queensland Government
Accreditation Program.
