iAccelerate and our community have much to learn from Indigenous Practice and First Nations business owners. In 2022, we worked with Ngurra and Indigenous Entrepreneurs to establish the iAccelerate First Nations program, to ensure First Nations business owners and entrepreneurs can grow their business or ideas in a culturally safe and supportive environment
The First Nations program is a one day practical workshop to provide Indigenous entrepreneurs with the practical tools to take their business idea or existing business further.
What to expect from the workshop;
- A culturally safe and supportive environment.
- Tools to help you develop your project, idea or business. We equip you with the resources to bring your aspirations to life.
- Hands-on practical activities.
- Shared learnings. Collaborate and learn from fellow First Nations entrepreneurs.
Each workshop is delivered locally with other First Nations businesses and aspiring business owners.
The workshop will cover:
- Networking with other First Nations businesses
- How to communicate your idea with others
- Test your business idea and model
Following the one day workshop you can choose to have one on one or group mentoring to further develop the learnings from the workshop.
This is an opportunity if you have:
- An idea you want to develop into a business or social enterprise
- A business that you want to take a step back and look at differently
- A community project you want to develop
