This month’s edition is full of powerful stories, exciting updates, and opportunities to connect.

We’re thrilled to welcome our new CEO, David Knights, who brings deep experience and a strong commitment to Indigenous economic empowerment.

We also celebrated Supply Nation’s Connect 2025, where over 270 Indigenous businesses, corporates, and government departments came together to build stronger partnerships. It was a fantastic showcase of the strength and potential of the Indigenous business sector.

One of the standout stories is about Leavina Reid, a proud Weilwan woman and founder of one of NSW’s largest Aboriginal community-controlled social enterprises. Her journey is inspiring and a testament to community-led change.

You’ll also find highlights from the visit of a Canadian First Nations delegation, where bold conversations around global Indigenous investment and collaboration took centre stage.

And if you know of a client or a prospective client who is interested to build their skills or explore new opportunities, let them know about these upcoming workshops:
Procurement Workshop – 4 Sept: Hosted by Kristal Kinsela, focused on large contract opportunities
Export Finance Workshop – 24 Sept: For First Nations businesses interested in global markets.
