Part of Aboriginal-Business Connection Series 2 (ABC2)

With major energy infrastructure projects waiting to be approved, equity partnerships can help by allowing Aboriginal communities to share in both the wealth and the risk associated with the projects.

These partnerships encourage long-term development by looking at the relationship between service companies and Aboriginal communities.
