Indigenous entrepreneurs do not only need capital. They need partners who understand ownership, governance, financing, operations and growth. This is an important ecosystem that will enable other funds, business succession, Indigenous prosperity and Canada’s productivity gaps. This investment will amplify and accelerate our economic resilience.
