First Nations Business Acceleration Program

The First Nations Innovation Acceleration Program is for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander innovative businesses in Queensland who are established and looking to scale.

The First Nations Innovation Acceleration Program is a key program in the Innovation Division’s portfolio to empower mature First Nations’ businesses to scale and grow.

It accelerates business deals, through knowledge, funding, and connection into the prominent financial networks of First Australians Capital, and their partners; Queensland Investment Council (QIC), Queensland Indigenous Business Network (QIBN), Queensland Treasury, and Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO).

These empowered First Nations’ businesses can prepare to attract new investors, expanding their reach, and creating more jobs — a testament to the strength and vitality of the First Nations’ contribution to Queensland’s economy.

The program is managed by First Australians Capital (FAC) – a national First Nations-led organisation that builds investment readiness and designs the right capital solutions for First Nations’ businesses to thrive.
