Since the late 1990s and early 2000s, the Queensland State Government has been developing technology and science industries in Queensland as a whole, and Brisbane in particular, as part of its "Smart State" initiative.
Siden slutningen af 1990'erne og starten af 2000'erne har Queensland støttet udviklingen af højteknologi og vidensindustri i Queensland som helhed og specielt i Brisbane, som en del af dens "Smart State" initiativ.
