With 375 businesses and entrepreneurs in attendance, Potts is already setting sights on the future, planning the next Indigenous Trailblazers Summit to build on this momentum and continue empowering Indigenous innovation.
Potts says that the true power of the Indigenous Trailblazers Summit lies in the vibrant energy it generates—an energy fueled by meaningful interactions, dynamic networking, and the strong sense of community built over the two-day gathering.
Potts hopes that attendees leave the event not only inspired but also equipped with the tools and knowledge to organize similar gatherings in their own communities—sparking Indigenous-led business development and driving sustainable economic growth.
