Digital and innovation

The world is becoming increasingly interconnected and competitive as innovation and technology transforms traditional business models and how we access goods and services. Queensland needs to keep pace with global change by driving innovation alongside faster, more reliable digital infrastructure.

We have progressed 14 digital and innovation infrastructure priority actions. We’re helping drive the digital transformation of our infrastructure program and supporting digital connectivity including:

• driving Queensland’s digital by default approach through Building Information Modelling, including an assessment of government maturity and reviewed performance of the existing policy
• the Queensland Government, carriers and the Australian Government are co-investing to make substantial connectivity improvements targeting First Nations and regional and remote communities
• progressing the SEQ Digital Twin investigation. Work has commenced on a proof of concept and a program implementation plan
• release of the Queensland Innovation Precincts and Places Strategy 2022-2032, including $15 million in new funding to support government, industry and the community working together to grow and develop Queensland’s innovation places
• supporting communities, business and industry to embrace innovation through the $200 million Digital Economy Strategy – Our Thriving Digital Future: Queensland’s Digital Economy Strategy and 2023-26 Action Plan.
