The Koori Business Network has announced the first state-wide Victorian Indigenous economic development forum, Embracing Business Opportunities, which will be held on 26 and 27 April 2007 in Melbourne.

The conference will provide individuals and organisations interested in Indigenous business growth with the opportunity to share perspectives, and open new doors.

The two-day program aims to engage Indigenous entrepreneurs, individuals, the Indigenous community, government agencies, community-based organisations and the broader business community to:

• stimulate business growth within the Indigenous community through cooperation, networking and sharing business and industry information
• identify emerging trends and new directions for enterprise
• increase knowledge about investment and financing opportunities
• celebrate the successes and learn valuable insights from Indigenous business owners
• provide showcasing opportunities for Indigenous businesses
• facilitate learning opportunities through business workshops
• provide a platform for the voices of Indigenous youth
• challenge delegates to improve the current landscape leading to increased Indigenous participation in the Victorian economy
  

While the conference's focus is the State of Victoria, participation from around Australia and other parts of the world is encouraged.
