Hi there

May has been another landmark month for the Sunshine Coast with announcements, trade missions and industry festivals once again demonstrating why the region is one of Australia’s most dynamic destinations for business, innovation and investment.

 

Examples of momentum-building initiatives include:

  • Sunshine Coast seafood industry making a splash on the global stage in a Singapore trade mission.

  • Jetstar adding 49,000 more flights to popular routes; further strengthening its commitment to the Sunshine Coast.

  • Walker Corporation setting new benchmarks for high-tech workplaces and sustainable urban living in the Maroochydore City Centre, with construction well-advanced on its 50 First Avenue office tower and the green light given for SOL by Walker.

  • Sunshine Coast Council's incentive program, encouraging hotel developers to capitalise on pent-up demand for internationally-branded and boutique hotels.

But wait, there's more! The Sunshine Coast’s recognition as a leading tech hub was also spotlighted during NZ Tech Week this month.

 

And on home turf, another FWD››FEST tech industry festival brought together innovators and entrepreneurs to share ideas and celebrate the forward-thinking spirit of the Sunshine Coast business community.

 

Read on for the latest stories shaping the business environment on the Sunshine Coast.
