Why Research Matters

For over a decade, CCIB research has bridged the gap between Indigenous business owners and corporate Canada, governments and academic communities to provide insight into Canada’s growing Indigenous economy. 

Through collaborative initiatives and in-depth analysis of Indigenous economic participation, both nationally and regionally, CCIB research helps Indigenous business owners and communities achieve success by ensuring they approach the Canadian business landscape in an informed manner.
