Even in turbulent times, Indigenous businesses continue to innovate, adapt and grow. That’s why CCIB’s Tools for Indigenous Business (TIB) team is bringing Indigenous entrepreneurs and business leaders together in Vancouver for an inspiring Indigenous Business Networking Event.

Join us for Navigating Turbulent Times: Indigenous Innovation and Resilience Across Tourism, Trade, and Technology on Tues., Oct. 13, from 4 to 7 p.m. PT at the TELUS Garden Offices, 510 W. Georgia St. 

Celebrate the innovation and contributions of three Indigenous entrepreneurs who illustrate business resilience grounded in culture, adaptability, and a community-first mindset.

Hear firsthand how Indigenous businesses across tourism, international trade and technology are navigating economic headwinds, advancing Indigenous opportunity and turning challenges into opportunities for growth.

Through dynamic seven-minute Lightning Talks, Alison Evans, Co-owner of Gulf Island Seaplanes, Anthony Wingham, Co-founder and CEO of Nuez Acres and Ryan St. Germaine, Founder and CEO of Indigenous Tech Circle, will share their real-world experiences and perspectives on succeeding against the odds.

The Lightning Talk will conclude with an interactive Q&A, allowing attendees to ask questions and connect with the speakers.

This event is open to everyone! Please share this event with your network and anyone who would value an evening of Indigenous business connection, insight and inspiration.
