Building a knowledge economy on the Sunshine Coast will see the production, distribution and use of knowledge as the main driver of growth, wealth creation and employment across all industries.
Businesses understand the benefits of a knowledge economy on their bottom line.
Sunshine Coast businesses offering knowledge-enhanced products or services can command price premiums over comparable products with low embedded knowledge.
The Sunshine Coast has been recognised by the New York-based Intelligent Community Forum as one of the world’s Smart21 communities two years in a row.
It is integral to our competitiveness in the new economy that the Sunshine Coast defines its identity locally, nationally and internationally along these lines.
