Join our virtual event on Thursday 7 November, 12.30pm-1.30pm AET where we'll launch the new research presented by IBA in partnership with the Australian National University (ANU) Office of the Vice-President, First Nations.

The report outlines important detail from the experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander entrepreneurs through the business lifecycle. It provides insights into the growth of First Nations business sector and identifies where gaps are emerging in the availability of support.

  • Where is the growth of First Nations businesses most significant?
  • Is support provided equally across the business lifecycle?
  • How can the industry achieve more?

You’ll hear a lively discussion from a panel on the report, business realities, and what still needs to be done. The research is only the beginning!
