Previously focused on member-owned businesses of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, we are pleased to announce that we are expanding to welcome Native American tribal member-owned businesses from across the State of Michigan.

This year’s theme is “Building Forward” and features numerous discussions on resources for Native American businesses and entrepreneurs.

Also featured for the first time is our Business Idea Pitch Competition, where multiple members who share new business ideas will receive in-kind services valued at $5,000, provided by Pure Michigan Business Connect and MEDC.
