Queensland Premier Anna Bligh’s six-day trade mission in the United States gets under way on Friday.

She’ll visit New York, Los Angeles and San Fransisco as part of a mission to promote tourism, clean energy and bioscience technology.

Ms Bligh has been holidaying with her family in the US this month, and will begin the trade mission in New York.

As part of her engagements, she’ll attend the opening of Queensland’s award-winning second skin technology company Microskin’s New York clinic before representing the state at G’Day USA events in Los Angeles on Saturday.

The annual Australia Week event promotes the country in sectors as diverse as art, food, wine, fashion, tourism and business services.

Ms Bligh will then travel to San Francisco to meet investors and company directors to discuss clean energy and bioscience technology before visiting a Silicon Valley event showcasing Australian innovation.
