Networking with speed for Indigenous businesses
As the premier energy network in WA, Energy Club WA aims to increase participation of Indigenous businesses and suppliers and drive collaboration throughout the industry.
That aim was achieved during a four-hour event this month when the club held an Indigenous
business speed networking event.
It connected club members and guests with local and national Indigenous businesses and suppliers.
The event highlighted the diversity of Indigenous businesses operating nationally and within WA, ranging from training and cultural awareness providers, health service providers, equipment and furniture hire and body and home products suppliers.
