* Gateway to Investment highlights Queensland's competitive edge as one of Australia's top investment destinations.
* TheCrisafulli Government is delivering better services through a stronger economy by unlocking trade and investment opportunities for businesses across the State.
The Crisafulli Government is putting Queensland businesses on the world stage with the State's first investor guide to showcase investment opportunities to international partners.
Labor's decade of decline tarnished Queensland's reputation with key trading partners and squandered investment opportunities by failing to properly highlight what the State had to offer.
The Crisafulli Government has an open for business approach and is delivering more jobs and better services through a stronger economy with more trade and investment into Queensland.
The Gateway to Investment showcases Queensland's regions, industries and key government initiatives, giving domestic and global investors a clear snapshot of available investment opportunities and how best to approach them.
The guide has been developed to support investors, trade missions, investor engagement and international promotion and reinforces Queensland's reputation as a State that is back open for business and welcomes investment.
It highlights key sectors with current prospects for private investment across infrastructure, energy, resources, manufacturing, agriculture, defence, biomedical innovation and emerging industries.
Treasurer, Minister for Energy and Minister for Home Ownership David Janetzki said the investor guide reinforced Queensland's position as one of the nation's most attractive destinations for investment.
"Under the Crisafulli Government, Queensland is open for business. We're entering a decade of extraordinary opportunity, backed by strong economic fundamentals, a major infrastructure pipeline and the transformative benefits of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games," Treasurer Janetzki said.
"This guide brings together the full range of Queensland's investment value propositions and provides investors clear pathways to engage with our Government, connect with projects and unlock growth opportunities across the State.
"We're focused on creating the conditions that give investors confidence, including faster decision-making, coordinated support and opportunities that will drive jobs, productivity and long-term economic growth."
Minister for Finance, Trade, Employment and Training Ros Bates said the guide would strengthen Queensland's engagement with investors both domestically and internationally.
"Queensland is open for business and this guide demonstrates the scale and diversity of investment opportunities available across the State," Minister Bates said.
"Under Labor, investors faced roadblocks and uncertainty on how they could work with Queensland but the Crisafulli Government has reopened the State for investment and is delivering economic growth across all of our regions.
"Whether investors are looking at critical minerals, energy, advanced manufacturing, defence or agriculture, the Crisafulli Government offers the stability, capability and support needed to help projects succeed.
"Our powerhouse Team Queensland approach led by Queensland Treasury includes Queensland Investment Corporation, Queensland Treasury Corporation and Trade and Investment Queensland, connecting significant strategic investments to capital and institutional markets.
"Queensland is positioned for growth and delivering investment at scale, with a strong economy, a clear long-term plan and opportunities across every corner of the state."
