2026 FIRST NATIONS BUSINESS SHOWCASE

The Circle – First Nations Entrepreneur Hub presents the 2026 First Nations Business Showcase in partnership with the National Wine Centre of Australia.

As The Circle’s annual flagship event, the Showcase brings together First Nations businesses from across South Australia, creating opportunities for government, industry and private enterprise to connect directly with First Nations suppliers and explore future supply chain and procurement opportunities.

The event celebrates First Nations business excellence while supporting greater participation of First Nations businesses in South Australia’s economy.

Set in the National Wine Centre’s premium venue, the 2026 Showcase is designed to foster connection, collaboration and opportunity. The National Wine Centre’s support plays an important role in strengthening First Nations enterprise across South Australia.

Continuing our commitment to celebrating and supporting First Nations businesses beyond Indigenous Business Month in October, the showcase will be held on Wednesday 4 November 2026.
