​CALLING ABORIGINAL BUSINESSES

​THE CREATE PROGRAM IS A PLACE OF CONNECTION, LEARNING, MENTORSHIP AND GROWTH
​The regenerative business movement is all about encouraging long term thinking as custodians of culture, community and Country for future generations.
​Our 8 week learning program, starting in October 2022 will inspire us all to look at how we can succeed in business while working together to do good for Country.

What is the CREATE Program?

CREATE is a flexible, free, online learning program designed to connect and grow First Nations businesses in the regenerative economy. 
In 2022, our pilot program will be delivered to a small group of businesses from across regional WA with entry by application or invitation. 
​Applications open August 2022.​

What is the Regenerative economy?

​Inspired by nature, the idea underpinning the Regenerative economy is to give more than we take.  The Regenerative economy is a system in which we can generate wealth while restoring health and balance to Earth’s living systems. Regenerative entrepreneurship is the process of growing successful businesses in this economy.
The CREATE program will:
  • Celebrate the global regenerative business movement.
  • Grow the capabilities of Aboriginal start ups, NFP and businesses in WA.
  • Encourage collaboration within a community of like minded businesses.
  • Link Aboriginal businesses to potential investors and partners.​

What will you learn on the program?

The program is an 8 week online learning program where you will learn about:
  • Setting yourself up in business ​or NFP.
  • What the regenerative economy is and how to use your cultural knowledge to start and grow your business or NFP.
  • Who is my customer? How do I find them?
  • Why is your business unique? How will you make money?
  • Prototyping and launching the best version of your business.
  • Marketing, websites and social media.
  • Telling your story.

Why is the program called CREATE?

​Working together in community and in business, we can create solutions to the biggest problems imaginable. Our program name was inspired by that belief and by these words:
CREATIVITY
REGENERATION
ENTREPRENEURSHIP
ABORIGINAL CULTURE
TECHNOLOGY
EQUILIBRIUM
