Our mission is to promote, strengthen and enhance a prosperous Indigenous economy.

Canadian Council for Indigenous Business (CCIB) is a national, non-partisan, non-profit, member-based organization changing the business landscape. Our members include Indigenous businesses, communities, Indigenous community-owned economic development corporations, and companies operating in Canada.

It is the premier corporate social responsibility program emphasizing Indigenous relations.

CCIB Events connect businesses across Canada with business opportunities and excellence in sustainable relations. These events include CCIB award galas to celebrate Indigenous business success and networking opportunities featuring Canada's leading thought leaders weighing in on areas of opportunity.

Every year, CCIB honours the best and brightest individuals and businesses within our network, granting Awards recognizing the role that Indigenous entrepreneurs, businesses and communities hold in the Canadian business landscape.
