Message from the Premier
The Smart State is all about smart people executing smart ideas – whether those ideas are in science or business, the arts or sport, industry or agriculture, the public sector or private enterprise. In this edition of Catalyst, a great many world-class ideas are showcased.
There are stories about women in our state’s biotechnology industry, tsunami research, a method of extracting water from air, a way to keep birds from airports, a Queensland company operating a new Hong Kong tourist operation, and spinal injury research.
Queenslanders are powering ahead in all fields of endeavour, helping to build our state’s reputation for excellence and innovative thinking.
I know you will find this edition of Catalyst interesting and informative.

Premier and Treasurer
