Recently launched by the University of Melbourne and Melbourne Business school, the Dilin Duwa Centre for Indigenous Business Leadership is described as the new home for education, engagement and research supporting the self-determined growth of Indigenous businesspeople, companies, and communities around Australia.
Director, Associate Professor Michelle Evans, says that Dilin Duwa Centre is committed to the pursuit of equality for Australia’s First Nations people in Australia's economy.
The Centre will become a primary resource for governments and corporations, providing previously unavailable research and data to inform policy and provide insights into procurement and Indigenous engagement activities.
Earlier this year, Dilin Duwa Centre working with Indigenous Business Data Custodians and the Melbourne Institute, delivered Australia’s inaugural Indigenous Business Snapshot and developed the Indigenous Business Longitudinal Analysis Data Environment (I-BLADE) 1.0, a project the Centre will continue developing.
