Export Nation platform to help Indigenous businesses go global

We currently have over 280 Indigenous businesses that have identified they are exporting their products and services, and we expect to see this number increase as the Indigenous business sector continues to grow and strengthen.

Since 2009, Supply Nation has worked with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses along with procurement teams from government and corporate Australia, to help shape today’s emerging and rapidly evolving Indigenous business sector.

Supply Nation is the custodian of Indigenous Business Direct – the largest database of verified Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses. It connects nearly 4,000 Indigenous businesses with more than 670 corporate, government and not-for-profit organisations to foster connections and drive economic empowerment through business. Supply Nation also provides support to Indigenous businesses through an array of training programs, online tools, resources and events, and has recently launched the Export Nation platform to help Indigenous businesses sell their products and services outside of Australia.

The Export Nation platform provides businesses with access to resources, opportunities and connections to organisations in Australia and overseas, that can provide support, advice and assistance to succeed internationally.
