Queensland shines on global health stage
THE State Government has led a powerful Queensland delegation at India’s BioAsia 2025 to generate millions of dollars’ worth of trade and investment for the state.
The Minister for Finance, Trade, Employment and Training, Ros Bates, led a delegation to the BioAsia 2025 exhibition in Hyderabad, India, one of the world’s premier life sciences and health-tech events. The exhibition brought together around 2000 global leaders from industry, research, and government to showcase the latest breakthroughs in cutting-edge digital health technologies.
The delegation included 20 members representing 10 Queensland companies and research institutions, reinforcing the state's position as a global leader in the health sector. Minister Bates emphasized that the opportunity to showcase Queensland’s innovations at BioAsia 2025 sent "a clear signal that Queensland is open for business."
"The trade relationship between Queensland and two economic powerhouses, India and Singapore, is vital to fixing the state’s skills shortage," Bates said. "I am delighted to support these Queensland exporters and institutions to a huge and eager Indian market and demonstrate our world-leading innovations in biopharmaceuticals, digital health, medical devices, and advanced therapeutics."
