The new State Government Agency, Investment NSW has opened for business (29 March) to drive local and global investment and create jobs for the NSW of the future.
Led by Chief Executive, Amy Brown – previously Deputy Secretary at the Department of Premier and Cabinet leading its economic and commercial leadership team – Investment NSW has been given the task, among many, of showing the world that the State is open for business.
“As a central Agency, Investment NSW will drive all trade and investment attraction activities as a one-stop-shop to maximise economic benefits and jobs growth across NSW,” Ms Brown said.
“From day one we will be reaching out to key industry partners and investors – both domestic and international – to start work on their top priorities for Government to partner through the COVID recovery,” she said.
Ms Brown said the establishment of Investment NSW brought groups from across Government into the Premier and Cabinet cluster, including Destination NSW; Study NSW; R&D NSW; Global NSW; and NSW Treasury’s Jobs, Investment and Tourism group which includes Jobs Plus and the 24 Economy Commissioner.
She said the new Agency would be jointly responsible to the Premier, the Deputy Premier, Minister for Regional NSW, Industry and Trade and the Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian welcomed Investment NSW saying it would act as a concierge for businesses and investors to help them navigate partnerships with the State.
