QUT X QIBN's XCHANGE 2026
Description
XCHANGE 2026 | QIBN × QUT
Indigenous Business Month Celebration, Queensland
Where business, industry, government and the next generation come together.
This Indigenous Business Month, Queensland Indigenous Business Network (QIBN) and QUT invite you to XCHANGE - a new event designed to create meaningful exchange between Queensland Indigenous businesses, corporate, government, students and the education sector.
XCHANGE is more than a business showcase. It is a space to meet, listen, learn, share and create opportunities.
Across the event, attendees will have the opportunity to discover Queensland Indigenous businesses, build new connections, hear different perspectives and participate in conversations designed to create genuine two-way value.
For Indigenous businesses
XCHANGE is an opportunity to be heard, not simply spoken to. A day to showcase capability, share knowledge and connect directly with people and organisations looking to build meaningful relationships.
For corporate, government and education attendees
it is an opportunity to discover businesses, hear directly from Indigenous businesses and build a deeper understanding of the capability and knowledge within Queensland's Indigenous business sector.
For students and emerging talent
It is an opportunity to connect with business owners, industry and government while gaining insight into entrepreneurship, careers, innovation and the opportunities ahead.
Why XCHANGE?
It is an exchange of knowledge, information, skills and opportunity. It is X Change - what can happen when different sectors, perspectives and generations intersect.
And it is the beginning of something we intend to grow.
Different perspectives. Shared knowledge. New connections. XCHANGE.
