Indigenous participation in Canada’s transition to a net zero economy is crucial towards the development of projects involving critical minerals, resource development, renewable energy, and related infrastructure.

This webinar will explore potential pathways and strategies that Indigenous companies can adopt to capitalize on these projects, and benefit from the massive supply chain and procurement opportunities associated with these major projects.

Join us live on Thursday, May 16, 2024, from 1-2 p.m. ET, when we’ll explore:

  • Overview of the sector and subsector opportunities presenting themselves in the transition to net zero economy 
  • How businesses are effectively procuring services from Indigenous companies, and the benefits accrued by partnering and building strong relationships with participating Indigenous communities 
  • Key procurement requirements considered by buyers when engaging with Indigenous companies 
  • Strategies your company can adopt to build capacity to meet the procurement requirements
