Indigenous Entrepreneurship & Economic Reconciliation

Indigenous peoples in Canada represent one of the nation’s fast-growing, and youngest, populations and contributed almost $50 billion to Canada’s economy in 2020. If governments and corporations made changes to their policies and business practices, to be more inclusive by removing barriers and roadblocks, that number could double. In this conversation, Sasha Krstic, President, Mastercard Canada, Jenn Harper, Founder and CEO of Cheekbone Beauty Cosmetics, and Carol Anne Hilton, CEO and Founder, The Indigenomics Institute & The Global Centre for Indigenomics discuss the current status of economic reconciliation in Canada. How Indigenous businesses can better adapt to technologies? And what lessons can we learn from the global ecosystem that will ultimately help create an environment in which Indigenous businesses and entrepreneurs can thrive?
