Priority 5 Foster export opportunities
Queensland's partnerships with businesses, research institutes and governments are
a crucial factor in maintaining our ability to adapt to the fast-paced global environment.
These strategic relationships help to pave the way for Queensland businesses to export
goods and services and create more high-quality, local jobs.
The Queensland Government and Queensland businesses
have expertise in areas such as food and agribusiness,
translational research, industrial biotechnology and tropical
health, and actively pursue partnerships with other entities
to identify innovative solutions to shared problems.
The Queensland Government offers networking programs
to support research and industry-based collaboration,
including Innovate Queensland collaboration events and
IQlink. It participates in forums such as Life Sciences
Queensland which aims to build relationships between
business and research, and grow opportunities for life
sciences organisations in Queensland.

International trade missions
The Queensland Government prioritises trade missions
in its international engagement strategy. Participation
in government-led trade missions provides Queensland
businesses with a platform for engagement and promotion
that they would be unlikely to achieve otherwise.
Involvement in a trade mission boosts the credibility of
businesses in foreign markets, especially in Asia and
the Middle East, where government assistance is highly
regarded.
The purpose of trade missions is to:
introduce Queensland businesses to foreign industry
executives and government officials;
⚫ establish contacts in-market for export or investment
opportunities;
• provide in-market support to Queensland firms entering
new markets;
⚫ build international connections and opportunities for
collaboration;
• gain intelligence and learn about international markets
including understanding regulatory requirements;
• meet other Queensland businesses that have either
entered or are seeking to enter foreign markets; and
raise Queensland's profile internationally.

The Queensland Government also hosts foreign and
domestic delegations that include government officials,
academics, investors and buyers who are seeking to engage
with Queensland firms in order to invest, import Queensland
goods or services, or find opportunities to collaborate in
areas of expertise.
For example, the Queensland Government has developed
linkages with Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and
Forestry (MAFF), and in March 2016 hosted a MAFF mission
of delegates to showcase Queensland's tropical and
agribusiness expertise.
Current action: The Queensland Government actively
encourages inbound trade missions to promote
Queensland's investment and export opportunities.
Consultation indicated that government should
provide more assistance to businesses wanting to
break into new markets, including the opportunity to
showcase their goods and services internationally to
new customers and investors.
New initiative: Establish industry-led international
trade missions.
New initiative: Implement Queensland showcase
events in international markets.
