Sunshine Coast First Nations Business Showcase (October)

The Sunshine Coast First Nations Business showcase (previously First Nations Supplier Day) brings together local First Nations businesses, entrepreneurs, leaders, and the broader business community to showcase the vibrant First Nations business sector in our region.

Held annually during Indigenous Business Month, the event strengthens connections and fosters opportunities for a thriving and inclusive future for our region.

The 2025 event was officially the largest Indigenous Business Month event in Queensland, with key highlights including:

• Expo of 50+ First Nations businesses
• Expert panel discussions, business masterclasses, support services, and a pitch competition
• Strong partnerships with industry, QLD Government, and First Nations businesses

The Showcase strengthens procurement pathways by connecting First Nations businesses with government, corporate, and community buyers - driving economic empowerment and reconciliation.
