Despite a growing pipeline of Aboriginal-owned businesses with immense capacity to serve diverse industries and the enormous and unprecedented opportunity that procurement policies and diverse supply chains offer, economic prosperity for Aboriginal people in NSW is still an aspiration with purchasing from Aboriginal Suppliers and the employment of Aboriginal People still less than it could be and should be. This two-day event will open conversations, educate and inspire attendees on the importance of Aboriginal Participation in the Business Sector of NSW. Our key focus is to encourage a long-standing, economic harmony between both sides of the supply chain and to ensure sustainability of Aboriginal Business and Employment Participation in Government and Industry Supply Chains.
