On this week’s episode of Innovation Fuel, we welcome Jack Smith, Indigenous Business Developer and Director on the Board of Economic Development Cooperation! Jack joins hosts Dave and Dr. Gelareh to discuss how Indigenous entrepreneurs can compete with other entrepreneurs on every business level. They also question how we can tackle the challenges of connecting Indigenous people with access to the tools, support and resources to create business opportunities in rural communities.
We acknowledge that the territories on which UCW and its campuses are situated are the traditional, ancestral and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and Sel̓íl̓witulh/səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We thank them for having cared for this land since time immemorial, honour their graciousness to the students who seek knowledge here, and iterate our dedication to valuing the ongoing contributions of Indigenous peoples and communities.
