Across the state, regions drive exports, clean energy and critical industries. NSW offers advanced infrastructure, a skilled workforce and strong global ties through international agreements. These strengths make NSW a reliable partner for business and investment.
Sydney, Australia’s largest city and financial capital, ranks 24th globally for hosting the headquarters of the world’s 2,000 largest public companies. This provides a significant advantage in attracting businesses from startups to large enterprises.
