From Brisbane to Los Angeles: A new pathway for local business growth

Brisbane's new Sister City partnership and Olympic Memorandum of Understanding with Los Angeles isn't just a formal agreement – it's a real opportunity for local businesses.

Like us, LA is using the Games to shape a better city, investing in infrastructure and legacy projects that benefit its community long after the event.

As we head towards Brisbane 2032, we're seeing more chances for local businesses to grow, connect and step into the global stage.

Stronger ties with one of the world's largest economies means new networks, partnerships and export opportunities.

Whether you're in tech, creative industries, manufacturing or professional services, this opens the door to fresh ideas and new markets – while also attracting investment back into Brisbane.

It’s a big moment and a chance to work alongside a global powerhouse to build a better Brisbane now, for the Games, and well beyond.
