This forum will show you how to get partnerships right. You'll learn from case studies of existing successful joint venture partnerships, as well as hearing lessons learned from those that have failed to deliver on anticipated outcomes. Both potential investors and Aboriginal business leaders will be there, giving you the opportunity to network and connect with people from across the country. This is your chance to develop the knowledge and network you need to successfully generate partnerships focused on wealth creation and the economic development of Aboriginal communities.
You'll also have the opportunity to hear operational details on a range of case studies from across the country, such as the Labrador Metis Wind Energy Project, One Earth Farms Corporation and the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Project.
You don't want to miss this one-of-a-kind networking opportunity and chance to learn about projects pursued jointly by Aboriginal communities and industry. Learn tools and best practices to undertake your own successful partnership initiatives, and take away practical knowledge that you can begin applying in your community or in your organization today!
