Arboris Holds Talks with Australian Investment Manager QIC on Queensland’s Investment Environment and Cross-Border Coordination
Jiaqin Li with the QIC team following the meeting
On 25 Mar 2026, Arboris Global Partners held working-level discussions with QIC in Australia. Jiaqin Li, Founder and Director, met with the QIC team to exchange views on Queensland’s investment environment, industry priorities, and the scope for continued dialogue.
Official QIC materials state that the firm was established in 1991 and originally managed investments on behalf of the Queensland Government. It has since developed into one of Australia’s significant institutional investment platforms, with activity across infrastructure, real estate, private equity, private debt, and liquid markets.
The discussion covered the operating logic of Australia’s state-level economic and capital framework, and extended to Queensland’s development priorities across advanced manufacturing, innovation translation, technology industries, and related investment themes. It also touched on the ways in which cross-border collaboration may be advanced within clearer industry settings and institutional frameworks, and on the role that local investment platforms can play in connecting capital, industry, and on-the-ground execution.
For Arboris, the value of this type of engagement lies not only in strengthening its understanding of Australia’s state-level investment and industry development framework, but also in observing how cross-border collaboration can be shaped into more executable pathways within clearer industrial logic. Over the longer term, durable cross-border coordination tends to depend on defined institutional roles, stable channels of engagement, and an accurate reading of local industry needs.
Arboris will continue to follow developments across Australia’s industry, capital, and innovation ecosystems, and to remain in dialogue with market participants across different fields in support of the firm’s ongoing assessment of cross-border collaboration, structured execution, and long-term value formation.
