Indigenous Business Strategy

---

We believe in the power of Indigenous entrepreneurship to drive change, build wealth, and sustain culture. At NCIE, we work alongside aspiring and established Indigenous business owners to realise their goals and create long-term impact.

Our business strategy services are designed to meet entrepreneurs where they are—from start-up to scale-up—and include:

• Business Coaching and Mentoring – One-on-one and group sessions focused on business planning, financial literacy, pricing, market engagement, and growth strategies.

• Accelerator and Incubator Program Design – Development and delivery of tailored programs, like the IBA NT Indigenous Tourism Accelerator, that guide businesses through structured stages of development.

• Investment and Procurement Readiness – Support to prepare capability statements, identify funding opportunities, respond to tenders, and meet compliance and operational standards.

• Pitching and Marketing Support – Helping Indigenous businesses articulate their unique value, connect with the right audiences, and refine brand and communications strategies.

• Culturally Aligned Business Development – Ensuring that growth strategies reflect cultural values, community responsibilities, and local aspirations.

Our approach is grounded in respect, relationships, and results. We draw on years of experience across industries to deliver practical, strengths-based support that centres culture and community.
