“It is important to focus not just on the Games period, but on making the most of hosting business trade events leading up to the Olympics, when the world’s eyes are on Brisbane, and our state, and there is an increase in international visitors.”
ALISON ATIA,  CO-FOUNDER & CEO,  SKINO2
“The Games are an impetus for change and offer our state the opportunity to focus on areas of need now, and for the betterment of all industry and communities in future, including turning the lens to transport and logistics, town planning and accommodation.”
MIKE NOLAN,  CO-DIRECTOR,  NOLAN MEATS
“Being in the sports field arena we’re well placed to tap into the great opportunity that is the Olympics. We’re researching what meets our core values and objectives, and how we can build that into our business to benefit from the Olympics.”
KELLY WATSON,  BUSINESS ADMINISTRATOR,  GLOBAL TURF
“We’ve been thinking a lot about how we can support both the Olympics and the Paralympics. For example, we could have a fleet of e-bikes for athletes to use around the Games village or to access venues. We want to create opportunities for people to move freely, safely, and joyfully around our city, no matter their age or ability.”
ANDREA HERKLOTS,  CO-OWNER,  EVERYBODY EBIKES
“The 2032 Olympics are a really exciting opportunity for Queensland, and we are hoping that every visitor that comes to Australia has some tasty Australian macadamias on their plate when they’re here.”
JULIAN LANCASTER-SMITH,  GENERAL MANAGER,  SUNCOAST GOLD MACADAMIAS
“For smaller businesses, these major sporting events bring a lot more work through upgrades in the training facilities. All these countries are coming to compete here, but they also need to train in the lead up, as do our own athletes, so there’s plenty of work involved in building and upgrading smaller training facilities.”
TREVOR BOWMAN,  OWNER,  PLAY HARD SPORTS EQUIPMENT
