BRISBANE IN WORLD TOP 4 FOR FOREIGN INVESTMENT STRATEGY

BRISBANE is fourth out of 53 submitting cities for its foreign investment strategy in the Global Cities of the Future report, released by fDi intelligence, an offshoot of the London based Financial Times.

While Edinburgh came out on top, Brisbane ranked above Perth, the only other Australian city to appear on the list, which took out tenth place.

Brisbane's Lord Major Graham Quirk says the city's performance is proof that Brisbane is becoming a more globally competitive city. 

"To be ranked within the top 10 globally for human capital and lifestyle is testament to the outstanding education, research, business, employment and lifestyle opportunities that continue to attract and retain talented and skilled people in our great city."

Brisbane's 2022 New World City Action Plan received the Strategic Vision Award while the city's tourism infrastructure and hotel investment strategy was awarded the Tourism Development Award.

Quirk also says that Brisbane's tourism strategy will continue to focus on attracting foreign direct investment.

"More than $10 billion worth of major project and infrastructure work in the pipeline will support greater numbers of tourists who are choosing our progressive and multicultural city for the wealth of unique experiences on offer."
