Brisbane Economic Development Agency (BEDA) leads Brisbane’s sustainable economic growth. As Brisbane’s champion, BEDA works closely with government and private sector organisations to enhance and promote Brisbane’s reputation globally, drive visitation, and attract investment and talent.

Through the delivery of high-impact programs and strategic initiatives, BEDA’s aim is to position Brisbane as the number one destination in Australia to live, work and invest.
