Industries

Brisbane currently enjoys an above average economic growth rate just under 5 per cent per year. Population growth, a low cost base and close proximity to Asia are central to this success. Politically stable governments, excellent education facilities and world-class infrastructure all add to the attraction.

Emerging industries are rapidly joining traditional industries, and the region has experienced significant growth in sectors such as aviation, food and beverage, software development, life sciences and healthcare, logistics and distribution, ICT and creative, marine, mining and biotechnology.
