NSW Indigenous Chamber of Commerce Inc

As the peak body for Indigenous business in NSW, this year has been one of growth, impact, and sustained commitment to empowering Indigenous entrepreneurs and advancing inclusive economic opportunities. Our programs have continued to evolve, providing pathways for Indigenous businesses to thrive. Programs like the Yinaar Ngaambili Accelerator, the Indigenous Supplier Development Program, and the NSW Aboriginal Procurement Helpdesk have significantly enhanced access to supply chain opportunities. These efforts exemplify our dedication to fostering economic selfdetermination and showcasing Indigenous supplier excellence. Our networking events, and flagship event The Summit celebrated the achievements of Indigenous entrepreneurs and highlighted their vital contributions to the NSW economy. Equally, government and industry procurement professionals demonstrated best practice and innovation in their efforts toward more inclusive supply chains. Additionally, our supplier diversity training for corporate and government buyers helped improve the quality of their engagement with Indigenous businesses, strengthening engagement and has elevated the visibility of Indigenous businesses across industries. These achievements are a testament to the collective efforts of our dedicated team. Looking into this coming year, the NSWICC remains committed to advancing Indigenous entrepreneurship, innovation, and inclusion. By delivering culturally appropriate programs, advocating for systemic change, and fostering meaningful partnerships, we aim to ensure Indigenous businesses remain at the forefront of economic growth and community empowerment.
