Who we are

Invest Victoria is the Victorian State Government's investment promotion agency, focused on attracting and facilitating investment that contributes to economic growth across the state.

We support both foreign and domestic business seeking to enter, grow or expand in Melbourne and regional Victoria. We bring together expertise and resources from across government to support your success every step of the way.

Invest Victoria is your investment gateway to not only the Australian market but also the dynamic Asia-Pacific region. On behalf of the Victorian Government, we play a pivotal role in fostering long-term prosperity for Victoria by:

• attracting and supporting new foreign direct investment, domestic investment and re-investment
• enhancing the state’s business investment environment
• developing whole-of-government capabilities and governance in investment attraction
• coordinating the state’s investment pipeline
• leading a whole-of-government investment committee to streamline opportunities.

By collaborating closely with businesses, industries, and stakeholders, we ensure that Victoria remains a premier destination for growth, innovation, and opportunity.

We believe

We take an all-inclusive view of our client’s investment objectives, working directly and proactively with them to bridge the gap between investor and  the Victorian market.

Invest Victoria understands first-hand how doing business within the Australian market can differ vastly from doing business in an investor’s homeland – or indeed other parts of the world.

There is uncertainty and risk, and it can be overwhelming trying to navigate Australia’s complex changing industries and intricate regulatory system.

Our insight is key in enabling our clients to make faster and smarter decisions to enhance investor success. We also work hard to ensure the Victorian business environment is conducive to the types of investment that our state needs.

With deep connections into government and industry, and backed by a dynamic and market savvy investment team, Invest Victoria is well equipped to provide our clients with the know-how to make the most of local opportunities – linking them in with the right people and fast tracking their establishment into the market.
