The global economic environment is being marked by geopolitical complexity and economic disruptions. Widescale tariff measures and the increase in non-tariff barriers (including sustainability measures) are having a significant impact and shifting trade dynamics. However, First Nations businesses are uniquely positioned to lead with resilience, cultural strength and innovation. This Panel Discussion will bring together Indigenous business leaders and trade and international market expansion experts to explore how First Nations businesses can navigate these uncertainties and unlock new opportunities.

Facilitator: Theresa Harrison (Global ESG & Enablement Leader, Supply Chain Services)

Panellists: Jacob Davidson (Head of Strategy, Figjam and Co), Arnold Jorge (CEO, Export Council of Australia), Melanie Harris (Head of Indigenous Engagement & Export, Austrade), James Wolf (EY Global Trade Advisory)
