Brisbane 2032 Resources for SMEs
TEN STEPS TO SUCCESS
The Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games are set to unlock billions of dollars in procurement and business opportunities for SMEs, not only in Brisbane but across SEQ and regional Queensland. Early engagement will be key to securing work across both Games delivery and the long-term pipeline of investment that will follow.
Opportunities will include:
- Construction and infrastructure delivery
- Event services (security, logistics, workforce, transport)
- Hospitality, tourism and accommodation
- Technology and digital solutions
- Sustainability and environmental services
- Professional services (legal, finance, consulting)
Importantly, procurement policies are designed to prioritise local Queensland and Australian suppliers, with strong participation expected from SMEs, Indigenous businesses, and social enterprises.
