The Greater Whitsunday region launched BioVision, an interactive tool highlighting its biomanufacturing strengths to investors, government, and industry.
Proudly supported by the Queensland Government, BioVision is the first tool of its kind in the sector, combining data and strategic insights to show how Greater Whitsunday is positioning itself as a biomanufacturing leader.
Greater Whitsunday Alliance (GW3) Chief Executive Officer Ms Kylie Porter said BioVision is more than a map—it is a gateway to the future.
“It tells the story of a region that’s ready to lead, with the feedstock, infrastructure, workforce, and vision to become a globally significant biomanufacturing hub.
“We’re not waiting for opportunity to knock, with BioVision we are building the door.”
Ms Porter said Greater Whitsunday’s rich feedstock, strong infrastructure, and skilled workforce make it a prime location for biomanufacturing.
“The region’s proximity to fast-growing Asian markets and its favourable climate for year-round biomass production further strengthen its strategic advantage."
BioVision lets users explore the region’s biomanufacturing strengths through an interactive map, showcasing key locations, infrastructure, and industry capabilities.
Ms Porter said biomanufacturing is not a new concept for Greater Whitsunday. Since the release of Queensland’s Biofutures Roadmap in 2016, the region has worked with government, research institutions, and industry leaders to build momentum and capability.
“The region is already home to enabling infrastructure like the QUT Pioneer Biopilot, a national-scale facility supporting research and commercialisation in industrial biotechnology.
“With growing recognition of its potential to host large-scale biomanufacturing facilities, Greater Whitsunday is emerging as a key player in Australia’s bioeconomy.”
BioVision is now live and accessible to the public. Users can explore the tool at their own pace.
