As Supply Nation prepares to host its flagship event, Connect 2026, NITV Radio speaks with CEO Kate Russell about the continued growth of the Indigenous business sector and the role supplier diversity plays in creating economic opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
Held in Boorloo (Perth) on Whadjuk Noongar Country from 11–12 August, Connect 2026 will bring together Indigenous businesses, corporate leaders and changemakers from across Australia and around the world.

In this conversation, the proud Awabakal woman reflects on her leadership journey, the importance of supporting Indigenous businesses, and what attendees can expect from the two day event, including the Indigenous Business Tradeshow and the Gala Awards Dinner.
