World Indigenous Business Network

The World Indigenous Business Network (WIBN) is a global alliance of Indigenous entrepreneurs and organizations working to strengthen Indigenous economies through trade, investment, and business innovation. We connect Indigenous-owned businesses with markets, capital, and partners to drive inclusive growth grounded in cultural values and self-determination. Our work supports economic leadership across sectors by expanding access to resources, developing entrepreneurial capacity, and promoting Indigenous-led solutions on the global stage. A cornerstone of this mission is the Leading Embers Indigenous Capital Fund—a dedicated investment vehicle designed to support Indigenous entrepreneurs through culturally aligned capital, business development tools, and pathways to scalable growth. This fund is part of a broader effort to transform access to finance and unlock the full economic potential of Indigenous communities worldwide. WIBN also champions initiatives that include a digital trade platform, Indigenous trade certification, and data sovereignty standards, creating a trusted ecosystem for collaboration, ethical procurement, and long-term impact. We welcome engagement from investors, partners, and institutions who share a commitment to sustainable development, equity, and Indigenous economic leadership. Connect with us to explore partnership opportunities and be part of a global movement shaping the future of Indigenous business.
