Dilin Duwa Online
Powering the Indigenous Economy
Friday 22 October 2021 | 12 - 1pm
Join us for a virtual conversation reflecting on this year’s Indigenous Business Month theme, Powering the Indigenous Economy.
To wrap up Dilin Duwa Online this October we bring together Indigenous entrepreneurs and thought leaders Dr Blaze Kwaymullina (Emu Nest) and Dr Kiri Dell (Paradigm Maori) with the Director of Dilin Duwa Dr Michelle Evans to discuss, debate and debrief key themes raised throughout the series.
By reflecting on the Dilin Duwa Online Series’ conversations, through our keynote, panel members and workshops, this session will engage with key strategic questions such as who and what is actually powering the Indigenous economy and how we set the Indigenous standards for business.
This conversation aims to set the agenda for the coming year ahead in the Dilin Duwa online Series.
