Australia's Gold Coast

The Gold Coast is Australia’s fastest-growing economy and a globally recognised destination for lifestyle, tourism and investment. Known for its iconic beaches and relaxed coastal lifestyle, the city is also emerging as a hub for innovation, research and advanced industries.

With a rapidly expanding population, the Gold Coast is attracting global companies, entrepreneurs and researchers across health, technology and life sciences.

As the region prepares for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the city is entering a new era of growth, infrastructure investment and international collaboration, creating significant opportunities for business, research and innovation.

Queensland's Biomedical Sector

Queensland’s world-class biomedical ecosystem boasts a wealth of cutting-edge biomedical companies and research institutions, established and emerging health precincts, world-class universities and a highly skilled workforce. And it’s only going from strength to strength.

Home to a cluster of agile, innovative and entrepreneurial biomedical businesses, our pre-clinical and early-phase clinical trial capabilities are underpinned by sophisticated academic health translation research infrastructure.

Queensland is in an ideal position to continue to attract international companies and to build sovereign capability in areas such as the development, manufacture and delivery of vaccines.

Explore the Brisbane-Gold Coast Biomedical Corridor

Pre-conference tours (Tuesday 20 October, TBC) will showcase three of Queensland’s leading biomedical innovation precincts. Together, these interconnected hubs form one of Australia’s most significant life sciences and health innovation corridors, linking world-class hospitals, research institutes, start-ups and industry partners across South East Queensland.
