Frequently asked questions

What is the Industry Biotechnology Centre?

The InduThe Industry Biotechnology Centre (IBC) is a purpose-built biotechnology centre within the AATLIS Precinct in Toowoomba. It is being developed to bring people, infrastructure and industry together so biotechnology can move from research and development into real-world application.

The centre will support applied research, scale-up, testing, manufacturing and collaboration across agriculture, environmental and industrial biotechnology.

What facilities and capability will be available at the IBC?

The IBC is planned to include specialist laboratory, pilot-scale, manufacturing and collaboration spaces that support biotechnology development from early testing through to applied production. The facility is being designed to provide practical infrastructure for companies, researchers and partners working to build real-world solutions.

Where will the centre be located?

The IBC will be based in the FKG Group’s AATLIS Precinct in Wellcamp on the outskirts of Toowoomba. The site sits within the Charlton Wellcamp Industrial Area and forms part of the broader Toowoomba Enterprise Hub.

The location is positioned to connect biotechnology activity with transport, industry, agriculture and regional capability.

Who is involved in the IBC?

The IBC is being developed through a growing network of industry, government, research and commercial partners. It is designed as a collaborative environment where organisations can connect capability, infrastructure and market pathways.

AATLIS Precinct Developer and Infrastructure Leadership:

Additional partners will be announced as the centre progresses.

When will the centre open?

Construction and operational planning are underway with the following milestones:

  • Mid–Late 2026 – Stage 1 construction expected to begin
  • 2027 – Completion and commissioning of core facilities
  • 2028 – Expansion of R&D and logistics capabilities

Who is the Centre for?

The IBC is designed for:

  • Industry leaders in agtech, biomanufacturing, environmental solutions, and related sectors
  • Researchers and developers seeking infrastructure for testing, validation and scale-up
  • Startups and scale-ups preparing technologies for commercial pathways
  • Government, commercial and investment partners supporting applied biotechnology outcomes

If you are working on biotechnology with a clear path to real-world impact, the IBC is being built to help accelerate that journey.

How can I get involved?

There are several ways to engage with the IBC:

  • Explore research, development or commercialisation partnerships
  • Discuss tenancy, laboratory, manufacturing or collaboration space
  • Participate in pilot projects, trials or applied innovation programs
  • Connect with the team to discuss development, market access or ecosystem support
