Aboriginal business leaders, government representatives and industry figures from across northern Australia will converge in Broome next month for the inaugural Indigenous Business Forum.

The event, designed to boost economic opportunities in the Kimberley, signals a new phase in the region's push for Indigenous enterprise.

Hosted by the Broome Chamber of Commerce & Industry, the one-day forum will feature panels, workshops, and networking opportunities, all geared towards sparking collaboration.

Organisers hope the event will be a trigger for greater Indigenous participation in the region's economy, notably in remote communities where business owners routinely encounter hurdles to growth.

Scheduled for May 26, the forum focuses on forging partnerships among Indigenous businesses, government, and industry, with an eye toward joint ventures and investment opportunities that could reshape the local economic landscape.

Speakers include familiar names such as Kimberley MLA Divina D'Anna, Djarindjin Aboriginal Corporation CEO Nathan McIvor, and KRED chief executive Damien Parriman.

A key priority for the event, organisers say, will be stimulating early engagement with major projects to ensure Indigenous businesses are well placed to secure contracts and long-term opportunities.

Participants from remote communities, regional centres, and cities across WA and the NT are expected to travel to Broome for the event.

Backing from Rio Tinto's Winu Project and Djarindjin Aboriginal Corporation is helping to bring the forum to life, with a gala dinner planned to cap off the day's proceedings.

The Broome Chamber hopes the forum will become an annual fixture; a platform to celebrate Indigenous enterprise and strengthen collaboration across the Kimberley for years to come.
