In this final episode of the series, we dive deep into the intersection of Indigenous business and government procurement.

Moderator Dave Trafford and guests Tabatha Bull, CEO of the Canadian Council for Indigenous Business, Tanya Pasha, President and CEO of Air Creebec, and Jacob Taylor, PHD, Executive Director of the National Indigenous Economic Prosperity Council, talk about building capacity, creating equitable partnerships and the evolving role of Indigenous entrepreneurship. They also explore how mentorship and social capital are essential to advancing Indigenous innovation and entrepreneurship, especially in the procurement sector.

Key Takeaways:

The next generation will be the driving force behind transforming the procurement landscape. Mentorship and visible role models are crucial in empowering young people to lead change.
Indigenous procurement should be treated distinctly from general supplier diversity initiatives due to his unique connection to constitutional rights and reconciliation.
It’s about building capacity within Indigenous communities. Creating opportunities for high level executive roles and decision making in Indigenous businesses is essential. It’s not just about employment, it’s about fostering leadership that embodies Indigenous values and sustainability.
