If an industry is heading somewhere, it's heading to Queensland!

Queensland, Australia's Smart State, is located right on the doorstep of the Asia Pacific region and is a major aviation and aerospace hub. Queensland is a dynamic, innovative, smart economy with an economic growth rate well above the Australian national rate and comparable to that of high growth countries in the Asia Pacific region such as Singapore and Malaysia.

Queensland has the fastest growing population in Australia - the drawcard is not only our perfect weather and beaches, but also our high standard and low cost of living. This has created an economic boom in Queensland with investment opportunities aplenty.

Queensland's aviation and aerospace industry is leading the way with increased simulation activities being used in systems training, operations and maintenance - reducing costs and increasing efficiency on capital equipment.

Simulation opportunities are now available in the aviation, electronics, defence, construction, health, transport, mining and equipment manufacturing sectors.
