Science and innovation are critical to Queensland’s future prosperity and delivering better outcomes for our environment, our economy and our people.

The Department of Environment, Science and Innovation is working across government, the research sector and industry to grow an innovative and thriving science sector that has the scale, quality and diversity to deliver real-world impact.

The Future Queensland Science Strategy 2024–2029 (the strategy)  provides the framework for how we will support Queensland’s world leading scientists to develop commercial opportunities, accelerate decarbonisation, protect our natural environment, and drive innovation in key sectors such as agriculture, health and mining.

The strategy’s vision is to generate and translate Queensland science into new industries and investment, attract science talent, support economic and jobs growth particularly in the regions, and attract and maintain a skilled science workforce.

Investment will be targeted through five strategic priority pillars:

• Pillar 1 Talent—Train, attract and retain the skilled people needed for a vibrant science ecosystem
• Pillar 2 Infrastructure—Grow Queensland’s science infrastructure and capabilities
• Pillar 3 Partnerships—Maintain Queensland’s leadership position in science
• Pillar 4 Translation—Support initiatives and attract investments to facilitate translation of science
• Pillar 5 Community—Empower community awareness and engagement in science

The Queensland Government is investing in science and research across diverse fields to deliver prosperity for the state.
