In October 2025, Melbourne (Naarm) will proudly host the 16th annual World Indigenous Business Forum (WIBF), presented by the Kinaway Chamber of Commerce. This event is set to welcome over a thousand delegates from Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities worldwide, marking a major milestone for the global Indigenous business movement.

WIBF 2025 will provide an invaluable platform for leaders across business, government, academia, and industry to come together, share insights, and develop strategies that drive economic empowerment for Indigenous communities around the globe.

Originating in New York City in 2010, the forum has travelled to multiple countries, consistently celebrating and strengthening Indigenous entrepreneurship and economic self-determination. Naarm’s selection as the 2025 host reaffirms Australia’s commitment to supporting Indigenous business on an international scale.
