Brisbane

As a capital city RDA, RDA Brisbane has a statewide remit to connect city-based stakeholders — including businesses, investors, policymakers and institutions — with the regional RDA network to promote opportunities and help drive economic growth across all Queensland regions. Through advocacy, facilitation and strategic engagement, RDA Brisbane strengthens the links between the capital and regional Queensland, amplifying regional voices in capital-city decision making and promoting outcomes that benefit communities across the state.

Brisbane has the highest density of innovation hubs in Australia and reports more business expenditure on research and development per person that any other major Australian capital.

Geographically positioned as Australia’s gateway to the thriving Asian markets, Brisbane offers lucrative export prospects to key destinations like China, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, and the Middle East.
