Indigenous Business Month has been celebrated across Tasmania with regional events held by the newly-established Palawa Business Hub.

Co-founded by Sara Maynard and Leah Brown, the Palawa Business Hub was founded earlier this year to support emerging and established Tasmanian Indigenous-owned businesses.

Coinciding with the commencement of Indigenous Business Month, the Hub's first event saw close to 20 businesses showcase their products and services at Hobart's Waterfront Pavilion.

With an estimated 250 attending the Hub's inaugural Aboriginal Business Showcase, members of the public were able to liaise directly with Aboriginal-owned businesses from fields including the arts, cultural engagement and safety, food and beverage, photography, environmental services and legal services.

Speaking at the event, Palawa Business Hub co-founder Leah Brown highlighted the importance of economic self-determination leading to prosperity for Aboriginal people, while acknowledging Indigenous business owners for having the confidence to present at the Hub's first showcase.

"Today is about… spreading the knowledge and starting our Indigenous business economy in the state," Ms Brown told a standing room only crowd at Hobart's Waterfront Pavilion.

"Once people in our community see this, we'll have them banging down the door.

"I can't think of a better way to celebrate our businesses with our first showcase in the state, and we'll be having more as time goes on."

Attendees were able to experience traditional Tasmanian Indigenous cuisine, with Tasmanian Aboriginal food business Palawa Kipli serving wontons with pepperberry guacamole, smoked wallaby with kunzia relish, and a bush tucker bruschetta.

Following the inaugural showcase, the Hub headed north to hold Aboriginal Business meet and greets in Launceston and Burnie, providing an opportunity for Indigenous-owned businesses across regional Tasmanian to present to the public.

Ms Brown, the founder of Indigenous legal firm Marrawah Law, said she was excited to see the Palawa Business Hub come to fruition in support of Tasmanian Aboriginal-owned businesses.

"We are thrilled to get behind Aboriginal businesses to make this a reality and truly celebrate our mob's achievements," she told The Mercury.
