𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝟮𝟬 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗶𝗼 𝗩𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 Over the last two years, a select group of Queensland innovators travelled with us to Hyderabad for BioAsia event — and each one played a role in shaping the Queensland–India bio story. A group of leaders who backed the India opportunity early and helped open doors for our ecosystem. I’d love to invite each of you to share either: • a 20-second video, or • a 20-word LinkedIn post answering one prompt: “Why India?” Then tag one Queensland company, founder, researcher, or stakeholder who should consider joining BioAsia 2026. Your voice will help the next wave of Queensland biotech, medtech, digital health, and research organisations understand the scale of India’s opportunity. Looking forward to hearing insights from these top voices. Professor Alan E.

You can’t tell in this photo. But inside I’m buzzing because as Queensland’s Global Connector, this is exactly where I want to be: in the heart of China’s most fast-moving consumer marketplace, helping Queensland exporters shine and sharing the #QueensLandofOpportunity story. Reflecting on this year’s China International Import Expo (CIIE), the momentum around Queensland was unmistakable. Led by Rhett Miller Senior Trade and Investment Commissioner - Greater China, and the Greater China team, Queensland’s presence was more visible and more strategic than ever. Representing our state on a live broadcast and sharing stories from this historic event with China’s vast social media audience was a privilege and a reminder of why Queensland capability resonates so strongly in China. Across the QueensLand of Opportunity Pavilion, engagement was exceptional. From small family businesses to major brands, Queensland products drew strong interest from consumers, buyers, platforms and media. It’s clear our exporters are aligned with what Chinese customers are seeking. Commercial outcomes were significant, with millions of dollars in projected trade. Livestreams, JD.COM activations and in-booth digital sales turned interest into immediate results and provided real-time insights. This year also saw a major milestone: a strategic Memorandum of Understanding with China’s largest online retailer JD.COM, expanding access to China’s vast e-commerce market for Queensland businesses and creating new pathways for growth. Queensland’s focus on telling the story of participating businesses with authenticity resonated deeply, while the flurry of interactions across the Pavilion resulted in both commercial deals and memorable moments that support long-term brand affinity. The QueensLand of Opportunity Pavilion showed what happens when Queensland’s strengths meet China’s scale and digital sophistication. The potential is enormous and growing. If you are a Queensland exporter considering China, now is the time to start the conversation.

The China International Import Expo (CIIE) shows how Queensland exporters can thrive by bringing quality, innovation, and reliability to a market hungry for clean, sustainable and premium products. And our QueensLand of Opportunity Pavilion at the Expo has well and truly lived up to its name and the results speak for themselves. The Pavilion and our largest-ever Queensland business delegation to anywhere in the world has generated millions of dollars in export outcomes and a raft of agreements between participating Queensland businesses and key Chinese partners. And the potential for Queensland businesses in China continues grow driven by our strongly complementary economies. This year, we have driven yet more opportunities for our businesses supporting their entry into China’s vast e-commerce market with the signing of a landmark strategic MoU with China's largest online retailer JD.COM at CIIE. Our on-site live-streaming studio and live streaming throughout our Pavilion demonstrated just how quickly Queensland’s premium products can grab attention in this sphere. Home to the world’s largest e-commerce market, China provides a wealth of opportunities for those ready to take the leap. With six offices throughout the market including our new office in Shenzhen, Trade and Investment Queensland is committed to supporting our state's businesses and creating vital connections. Our CIIE success this year is just the latest chapter in the Queensland-China trade and investment story, which focuses on developing new partnerships and driving growth for Queensland businesses in our largest trading partner. The door to China is wide open for your business – don’t wait to step through it. Contact Trade and Investment Queensland to help you in the market: https://lnkd.in/g8wMSQJf #QueensLandofOpportunity

Queensland and Vietnam share more than trade. We share ambition. In the year ending August 2025, Vietnam was Queensland’s sixth largest export market, valued at $3.5 billion, with exports led by coal, cotton, copper, and beef. Vietnam is also Queensland’s 11th largest source of international students. Queensland is the first Australian state to establish a regional trade and investment hub in Vietnam - a reflection of our long-term commitment to this dynamic market. Vietnam serves as a key partner in Southeast Asia, providing a strategic base for expanded trade, investment, and agrifood engagement across the region. As Queensland’s Senior Trade and Investment Commissioner for Southeast Asia, I’m thrilled to see this partnership continue to grow. It is built on shared ambition, innovation and trust. Our new global business brand, QueensLand of Opportunity, tells a single, powerful story about Queensland’s strengths - from critical minerals and agtech to biomedical innovation and advanced manufacturing - and our shared ambition as we look ahead to Brisbane 2032. We welcome connections from those looking to invest, work, study or trade with Queensland.

Meeting the world’s critical minerals demand requires collaboration, commitment and trusted partnerships. From attending #IMARC in Sydney this week, where more than 11,000 attendees and 500 exhibitors from across the global mining value chain came together, it’s clear that the opportunities for cooperation between Queensland, the UK and Europe have never been stronger. As #Queensland’s Deputy Trade Commissioner UK, I continue to see growing interest from UK and EU partners seeking reliable, responsible and innovative sources of #criticalminerals to support future needs. Queensland is ready to be part of that solution and welcomes new business and partnerships. Furthermore, with the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games on the horizon, transformation is accelerating, infrastructure is evolving and investment momentum is strong. There is a buzz here to build long lasting partnerships. I welcome conversations and connections and partnerships with UK and European partners who share our ambition to strengthen supply chains and power a sustainable future.

It turns out I was wrong. As Queensland’s Trade and Investment Commissioner in India, my days are consumed by maximizing opportunities for both our regions. So when I was asked to focus on FDI, I thought it might be too soon. But someone saw what I didn’t - that India was ready, and so was Queensland. Today, thanks to colleagues Marcus, Shibu, and Munish, we’ve built a strong, diverse pipeline that reflects India’s evolving economy and Queensland’s strengths: Digital Technology – Indian tech companies are engaging with Queensland’s digital transformation journey in the lead-up to the Brisbane 2032 Olympics. Energy and Resources – Collaborating across the full value chain — from traditional to critical minerals. Agriculture and Food – From dairy proteins to premium coffee and seed R&D, India’s middle class demands quality and traceability. Health Innovation – Partnerships in vaccines, diagnostics, and digital health. Manufacturing – Innovation in modular housing, renewables, and decarbonization. India is now Queensland’s fourth-largest export market, valued at over $14 billion annually. But numbers alone don’t tell the story. What excites me is the momentum — the sense that collaboration between India and Queensland isn’t just growing, it’s compounding. If your Indian business is ready to grow in a stable, sustainable market - Queensland is ready to partner. 🟢 Watch the Queensland of Opportunity video below 📬 Reach out to me or my team to start the conversation.
