Sponsor
An Initiative From The TechDiversity Foundation.
A half-day forum plus structured networking
TechBridge brings government buyers, prime suppliers and Indigenous businesses into one room with a single purpose: to turn procurement policy into real commercial relationships.
A working forum built around structured, matchmaking-style sessions where capability meets opportunity.
Why It Matters
The Gap Is Connection Not Policy
Government has the targets. Under the Indigenous Procurement Policy (IPP), a minimum of 3% of contract value should be delivered through Indigenous businesses
Prime suppliers have the contracts, and the obligation to deliver part of that work through Indigenous businesses
Indigenous businesses have the capability and the ambition
Who Is It For?
Government. The departments and agencies with procurement targets and a genuine intent to create opportunities for Indigenous businesses.
Prime suppliers. The major technology companies holding large government contracts, and the obligations that come with them.
Indigenous businesses. Established businesses with real technical and professional capability, seeking a pathway into government supply chains.
