About this Event

Please join us for an engaging panel discussion on Redefining Innovation: Leaders Shaping Brisbane’s Future, featuring three exceptional women — recipients of the Lord Mayor’s Business Awards — who are shaping change across science, creative industries, and business.

As Brisbane continues to strengthen its position as a Top 40 global city for innovation, this conversation highlights the leadership, ideas and impact driving our city’s economic growth and global reputation. Our panellists span climate innovation, internationally scaled creative production, and advanced manufacturing — sectors that are central to Brisbane’s future economy.

Together, they are redefining what innovation looks like in Brisbane — and who gets to lead it.

This International Women’s Day event will explore how inclusive leadership, diverse perspectives and collaboration are essential to building a stronger innovation ecosystem, unlocking opportunity, and shaping a more equitable and prosperous future for Brisbane.
