Welcoming international connections

Posted 20 August 2025

Last week IBA, along with NAB, proudly welcomed a powerhouse Canadian First Nations delegation to Australia.  The delegation, which included representatives from the National Aboriginal Capital Corporations Association (NACCA) is visiting Australia to connect with leading First Nations organisations and key government agencies, laying the foundation for transformative partnerships across borders.

IBA Chairman Darren Godwell, and other IBA staff, met with the delegation on Gadigal land and shared our vision for unlocking capital markets through new legislative powers, inspired by the Canadian model. Their experience is a game-changer for how we source and invest capital.

The visit included hosting the delegation for a cultural cruise on the Tribal Warrior which showcased the living culture and history of the Eora people.

International connections like these are vital for growth and learning, sparking bold conversations around global Indigenous investment and collaboration.
