A new digital space to strengthen connection, collaboration and opportunity

The NSW Indigenous Chamber of Commerce (NSWICC) is pleased to announce that the Buying on Country – Connecting Indigenous Business (CIB) Portal is now live.

This dedicated online platform has been created to provide a culturally safe and supportive space for:

  • Indigenous business owners and entrepreneurs
  • Indigenous women in business
  • Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation (ACCO) board members

The portal is designed to foster meaningful connections, encourage knowledge sharing and support the growth of strong, collaborative business networks across New South Wales and beyond.

By bringing together leaders, innovators and decision-makers, the CIB Portal helps unlock new opportunities for partnership, procurement and capability building within the Indigenous business ecosystem.

Members can use the platform to:

  • connect with peers and industry leaders
  • share insights, experiences and opportunities
  • build trusted relationships
  • strengthen visibility within the Indigenous business community

This initiative represents an important step forward in creating a more connected, empowered and self-determined Indigenous economy.
