Since 2014, the Queensland Futures Institute has been at the forefront of delivering independent future-focused thought leadership for Queensland.

Queensland’s own independent think tank, our members are prominent, forward-looking organisations, dedicated to advancing State wide prosperity. They share a view that the vast potential of our great State will be best realised by collaborating to tackle Queensland’s future challenges and many opportunities.

 The QFI’s Annual Leaders Survey is now a core component of our suite of expert thought-leadership and innovative future focused forums. We ask our members and their leaders to look forward to the next decade of prosperity for Queensland and provide their insights and priorities on maximising our State-wide successes.

We once again thank our member organisations for their contributions and encourage readers to review the thought-leadership of our best and brightest, 
providing valuable guidance for the future policy making and planning for our fabulous State.

A long-term Vision of Our Future Economy  

We take this opportunity to promote the benefit offered by the development of a long-term Vision of  Our Future Economy.

The QFI’s report into ‘Opportunities for Queensland’s Growth’ identified the need to shift away from business as usual and take deliberate action to ensure that Queensland can harness all options to grow its economy, centred around a clear vision of our future economy. 

A long-term economic vision would provide a clear and powerful narrative that reflects Queensland’s strengths and communicates its future direction, to Queenslanders, Australia and globally.  It would provide an understanding of where our economy is heading and how we are going to get there.  It would act as a valuable resource for investors, policy makers and future Queenslanders.

We invite the Queensland Government to consider this initiative, as well as the others presented in this document, and to work in partnership to grow a prosperous future.
