- The Northern Territory Government is investing $4 million over two years to strengthen the Territory's position as an investment destination and unlock long-term economic growth.
- The investment will deliver a proactive investor engagement program, including hosting the second NT Investment Summit in Darwin in July 2026.
- In a volatile global environment, the Territory is taking decisive action to maintain momentum and ensure investment leads continue to advance.
The Finocchiaro CLP Government is investing $4 million over two years to keep the Northern Territory firmly on the radar of investors in Australia, South East Asia and the Indo-Pacific ensuring the Territory stays ahead of competing jurisdictions in the global race for investment.
As part of the Government's year of Growth, Certainty and Security, the investment will fund a proactive, in-market engagement program targeting future growth sectors including energy, defence, agriculture, mining and tourism. A key deliverable is the second NT Investment Summit in Darwin in July 2026, bringing together investors, industry, and key decision-makers to connect capital with Territory opportunity.
Minister for Trade, Business and Asian Relations Robyn Cahill said “global competition for investment is intensifying and without continued engagement, we risk investor attention and capital shifting to competing jurisdictions.”
“ The Territory's natural advantages, world-class critical minerals, productive agricultural land, renewable energy potential and unmatched proximity to South East Asian and Indo-Pacific markets give us a compelling proposition and this investment ensures that the world knows exactly what the Territory has to offer”.
