innovative solutions that are in the early stages of market development and have significant
potential for application in the METS sector.

“The showcase will demonstrate how their emerging capabilities, technologies and solutions can
help us prepare for the future and address the challenges the mining and resource industries face.
It’s a great demonstration of the levels of ingenuity that exist here in Queensland,” Ms Gelder said.

Groen-Int-Woud said.

“They provide a comfortable amenity for project teams with heavy duty construction, C2 Compliancy

operation.

The event will be held in conjunction with one of the resource sector’s signature events, the
Queensland Resources Council (QRC) State of the Sector Forum, taking place at the Brisbane
Convention and Exhibition Centre.

QRC chief executive Ian Macfarlane said the resources industry was one of the major investors in
regional Queensland.

“QRC is excited to add this showcase from our regions at the QRC lunch and State of the Sector
forum,” Mr Macfarlane said.

“The resources sector creates direct jobs in regional Queensland, and we’re also proud to support
the innovative local businesses that partner with us across the supply chain. It’s a great opportunity
for these regional businesses to talk to a cross section of the entire resource industry.”

Minister for State Development, Manufacturing, Infrastructure and Planning Cameron Dick said the
businesses participating all possess innovative solutions that have significant potential for
application in the METS sector.

“We hope this showcase attracts more buyers and investors to the forum as it’s a prime opportunity
to connect with the businesses investing in the future of the METS sector,” Mr Dick said.
Potential buyers or investors are encouraged to attend the showcase and discover the many
advanced products and services coming out of regional Queensland.
