Queensland Resources And Innovation Expo To Launch In 2025

The Resources Centre of Excellence is proud to announce the inaugural Queensland Resources &
Innovation Expo, set to take place on July 11, 2025 at the Resources Centre of Excellence in Mackay.
Designed as a bi-annual event, this expo will provide an exciting platform for businesses—large and
small, locally owned and beyond—to showcase the products, equipment, and innovations that have
shaped the resources sector.

To kick off the event, an invite only networking event will be held on July 10, 2025, offering attendees
the chance to connect and collaborate with industry leaders, innovators, and stakeholders.

The expo itself will offer a dynamic space for businesses to present their contributions to resources
innovation, with outdoor stall rental opportunities available, as well as tailored spaces designed to
meet the specific needs of exhibitors. Additionally, information forums will be hosted inside the
Resources Centre of Excellence, providing valuable insights into advancements in the sector.

The public is invited to attend, making this a unique opportunity for the wider community to engage
with the industry and see first-hand the cutting-edge developments shaping the future of the
resources sector. Businesses will also have the chance to gain visibility and show their support for the
event through sponsorship opportunities.
