Regional Futures in Focus at UniSQ Thought Leadership Series

Regional challenges and opportunities took centre stage at the latest University of Southern Queensland (UniSQ) Thought Leadership Series event, where an expert panel explored strategies for building stronger, more sustainable communities.

Chaired by Professor Ben Lyons, the panel featured prominent regional leaders including Dr John McVeigh (Chancellor, UniSQ), Georgie Somerset (Agricultural Industry Advocate), and Mac Drysdale (Agribusiness Innovator). Together, they tackled key themes shaping regional futures:

Workforce growth
Climate resilience
Community wellbeing
Long-term regional resilience

The discussion highlighted the importance of collaborative investment in infrastructure, innovation, and sustainable practices to drive economic growth in the regions.

Thank you to UniSQ for championing regional voices and fostering important conversations about the future of rural and regional Australia.
