The Northern Territory’s foremost event for Aboriginal economic development will be held in Darwin this November. This biennial event, now in its ninth iteration, is one of the largest Aboriginal economic development specific events held in Australia.
The forum will continue to build on engagement with Aboriginal Territorians and will provide practical opportunities for Aboriginal businesses to establish and strengthen existing relationships with industry, private, government and non-government sectors.
With a history of strong participation from Aboriginal Territorians and local Aboriginal businesses, the theme of this year’s forum is Boundless Possible.
Sponsorship opportunities are still available, highlighting your organisation’s commitment to the economic success of the Territory’s Aboriginal businesses and people.
The Aboriginal Economic Development Forum provides an opportunity for Aboriginal businesses from across the Northern Territory to showcase their products and services to key stakeholders with a vested interest in progressing Aboriginal economic development.
Building on previous forums, there will be an emphasis on:
encouraging the sharing of knowledge and experiences
raising awareness of programs and services available to support Aboriginal businesses, and
connecting and strengthening relationships between Aboriginal entrepreneurs, private sector, industry, government and non-government organisations.
