For two years, the buzz has been building. The excitement for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games isn’t just about the world’s greatest athletes descending on our city; it’s about the incredible economic powerhouse the Games represent. If you’re a business owner in Queensland—or anywhere in Australia—you’ve likely felt the anticipation and wondered, “How can my business be a part of this?”
The wait is over. The starting pistol has officially been fired on the business opportunities of a decade.
The First Official Step: Mark Your Calendar for 8th October
Over the past two years, the Brisbane 2032 organisers have been approached by hundreds of eager businesses. Now, they are opening the doors wide for everyone. The first official procurement event is set for October 8, and this is your invitation to step onto the world stage.
This isn’t just another networking event; it’s the foundational launchpad for businesses of all sizes to understand how to become an integral part of delivering a Games that will showcase the very best of our region to the world.
What’s on Offer? A First Wave of 50+ Opportunities
The scale of the Olympic Games is monumental, and so too are its supply chain needs. At the event, the organising committee will unveil the first wave of procurement opportunities, with over 50 Expression of Interest (EOI) packages across a diverse range of sectors.
This initial release is just the beginning. Whether your expertise lies in:
- Sports Equipment & Logistics: From timing systems to athlete transportation.
- Catering & Hospitality: Feeding athletes, staff, and the influx of visitors.
- Technology & Innovation: Software, cybersecurity, and communication systems.
- Construction & Fit-outs: Temporary venues and operational spaces.
- Uniforms, Merchandise, and Services: The list is virtually endless.
This confirms one thing: you don’t have to be a multinational corporation to get involved. There will be thousands of opportunities, from major contracts to crucial niche sub-contracting roles, perfect for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
More Than Just a List: Gain Expert Knowledge and Prepare to Pitch
Understanding what is needed is only half the battle. Knowing how to successfully bid for and win this work is key. That’s why this event is designed to equip you with knowledge.
The #Brisbane2032 Procurement team will be on hand to provide invaluable insights, clear timelines, and practical steps to prepare your business and perfect your pitch. Even more crucially, they will be joined by an international procurement expert with previous Games experience. This is a unique chance to learn from someone who has “walked the walk” and understands the specific intricacies of supplying an event of this global magnitude.
Your Chance to Connect with the Decision Makers
Perhaps the most valuable aspect of this event is the access it provides. This is your opportunity to connect directly with #Brisbane2032 buyers. You can ask the questions that matter to your business, make a memorable first impression, and start building a relationship with the team that will be awarding contracts for the next eight years.
Ready, Set, Go!
The Brisbane 2032 Games are more than a sporting event; they are a decade-long project that will shape our economy and create a legacy of business growth and capability. The journey to becoming an official supplier starts now.
Don’t let this opportunity pass you by. Mark October 8 in your calendar, prepare your questions, and get ready to explore how your business can help deliver a truly unforgettable Games.
