Our HQ team have explored Brisbane, Queensland, alongside the teams at the aBrisbane Economic Development Agency (BEDA) and Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre (), and with local Advocates who have helped secure global congresses for the city.
As host of the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Brisbane is operating within a long-term legacy framework through Elevate 2042. On the ground, our conversations with local Advocates and the BEDA and BCEC teams focused on sector priorities including biomedical research, resources and energy, and on BCEC’s new bio-innovation bursary, launched at AIME 2026 and discussed with HQ just one week later in the city.
A sincere thank you to the BCEC and BEDA teams for their warm welcome and professionalism throughout our visit.
More in HQ soon!
