The Department of Small Business, Employment and Training is giving Indigenous business owners and operators the opportunity to have their say on what they need to grow and thrive in the lead up to the Brisbane 2032 Olympics.
These subjects are the focus of a series of yarns and other events being held by the Department during October as part of Indigenous Business Month.
Minister for Employment and Small Business, Di Farmer said the Government had set a 10-year goal to foster and encourage Indigenous business across the State in the lead up to 2032 Olympics.
“We want to ensure Indigenous businesses are best positioned to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime event and can tap into opportunities to supply their goods and services pre and post the Games,” Ms Farmer said.
“It is our intention that Indigenous businesses, particularly potential Government suppliers, will be given every opportunity to thrive in the lead up to Brisbane 2032.”
Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships, Craig Crawford said there were a number of events during Indigenous Business Month aimed at getting the conversation started.
“Indigenous Business Month is a golden opportunity for Indigenous businesses to find out how to secure additional contracts, achieve greater representation in supply chains, and to encourage more Indigenous businesses to consider providing services to Government,” Mr Crawford said.
“We are taking every opportunity to provide all the support required so they can grow in capability, capacity and in number,” he said.
