Empowering Indigenous Business Through Global Connections
The World Indigenous Business Network (WIBN) is a global movement dedicated to unlocking economic opportunities for Indigenous entrepreneurs. Through trade, investment, and capacity-building, we connect Indigenous businesses with markets, investors, and partners worldwide.
