Dilin Duwa Regional Business Series
33 Creative proudly partnered with Dilin Duwa to produce their Regional Business Series.
Three Regional Business series events offered support to regional Indigenous businesses across Australia. Rubibi (Broome) and Mpantwe (Alice Springs) were two in-person locations that the series travelled to, and adjusting to Covid-19 restrictions at the time, we offered an online Regional Indigenous Business event to launch the series in October, Indigenous Business Month, of 2020.
From initial concept through to design, branding, event and travel logistics, 33 Creative were there to see this through, engaging First Nations businesses throughout the supply chain.
The beauty of these kinds of events are the networks and relationships strengthened by coming together to discuss shared interests, create opportunity and partner with other businesses in the region, strengthening the local economy.
“A bit of inspiration and a lot of knowledge on how to grow your business, how to even start a business.”
Associate Professor Leesa Watego interviewed in Rubibi.
Indigenous business owners can share stories, learnings and inspire one another to continue along their business journeys, connecting with others near to them and have the opportunity meet business leaders locally and abroad.
Dilin Duwa brings the Faculty of Business and Economics at the University of Melbourne and the Melbourne Business School together to support Indigenous Business. They partner with local Indigenous business owners and Indigenous entrepreneur guest speakers, to run culturally safe and informative events which spur business owners on to next level.
Some of the presenters included Jyi Lawton CEO of Brisbane Indigenous Media Association, Kylie-Lee Bradford, Founder of Kakadu Organics, Aunty Pat Torres, Founder and CEO of Mayi Harvests and Uncle Neville Poelina, Founder of Uptoyu Adventures and Kook Koo’s Own bush medicines.
“What I love about it all is that when we are doing it in a big way, we are creating a circular economy which I think is the most exciting thing going forward.”
