Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has met with representatives from some of Germany’s top tier companies to pitch Queensland as an attractive investment in Berlin this week.
The Premier met with executives from Bombardier Transport; car-sharing joint venture ShareNow; Siemens Energy and grocery chain Kaufland.
The Premier says Germany and Queensland are entering a new era of innovation-led investor relations, which will be strengthened further by the new Free Trade Agreement currently being negotiated between the EU and Australia.
According to the Premier German multinational companies already featured prominently in the investment and development of some of Queensland’s key growth industries including defence and aerospace, renewable energy and biofuels.
