Strategic partnerships

We lead by example and support innovative practice across government and work with industry to build a more collaborative innovation ecosystem in Queensland.

Working with nine government agencies and in partnership with industry, businesses, universities, startups, investors and the Queensland Chief Entrepreneur, our department:

• leads and delivers the Advance Queensland innovation initiative
• develops strategies and capabilities for delivering the Queensland Government priorities outlined in the Our Future State: Advancing Queensland Priorities
• creates pathways for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses and innovators through the Advance Queensland Deadly Innovation Strategy.

We are leading the way in innovative government, supporting other government agencies to adopt new ways of thinking and working by identifying and creating new pathways for government and innovators to work together.

Our programs and partnerships are creating opportunities for Queenslanders to connect, collaborate and grow and driving innovation-led economic growth.

We are fostering innovation and entrepreneurialism, helping translate ideas into commercial success and creating pathways for new businesses and jobs for Queenslanders.

Strategic partnerships are vital for economic success. By working together, we all get the best outcomes for Queensland’s innovation economy.
