Supporting Indigenous people to become active participants in the economy through the creation of businesses, or by becoming self-employed enables generational change and helps close systemic gaps. Our approach has proven that Indigenous businesses are investable and drive significant social impact within communities through increased employment and community outcomes.
Successful Indigenous businesses are a powerful driver to tackle social disadvantage and create transformational, systemic and lasting change. Where real economic development has been applied in Canada and New Zealand, the socio-economic gap for First Nations People has not only been sustained but reduced.
