Indigenous Business Portal announced

A letter from Indigenous Biz, New Zealand

Kia Ora

I am writing with respect to an international indigenous business portal currently under development. The project is being developed and managed by Proximus Ltd., a New Zealand based company who has had significant involvement in international indigenous business development with a variety of organisations such as the United Nations Development Program, the World Trade Forum, and Aboriginal Affairs Canada.

With this project, we aim at working together with a variety of ventures undertaken at a national level, and providing an international service of unified information and resources to boost global indigenous economic growth and facilitate economic interactions.

You can view it at the following address:

Here is an introductory quote from the portal:

"This portal aims to facilitate business amongst indigenous nations on both a national and international level. Although at an early stage of development, we believe that this pre-release of the portal is in the best interest of organisations and communities we will be representing. We are currently processing, verifying, and gathering data for the portal and we would welcome your input. The more valuable the information we can provide through this transmission channel, the better it will serve its purpose: Stimulating Economic Growth Throughout the Global Indigenous Community."
