Our innovative 12-month Incubation Program empowers First Nations entrepreneurs in the Northern Territory through a culturally sensitive approach. Led by a majority-Indigenous team of expert facilitators, the program builds on four key principles: two-way learning, tailored support, relationship-first mentality, and network development. This creates lasting positive change not just for individual businesses, but for entire remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
Impact North Network is more than just a network - it's a thriving community that brings together social entrepreneurs across Northern Australia. This dynamic ecosystem fosters deep connections between purpose-driven ventures, facilitates meaningful collaboration, and creates a supportive space where entrepreneurs can share knowledge, resources, and opportunities. Through regular meetups, mentorship opportunities, and collaborative projects, our community members strengthen each other's social enterprises while working toward positive change in their communities.
