In photos: Sunshine Coast First Nations Business Showcase
Another outstanding year of First Nations business excellence
The Sunshine Coast First Nations Business Showcase has again brought together First Nations businesses, buyers, industry leaders and community members to celebrate enterprise, innovation and economic prosperity.
Following the success of the 2025 event, recognised as Queensland's largest Indigenous Business Month showcase, this year's event at Venue 114 continued to deliver strong participation and meaningful outcomes.
More than 300 people attended the showcase, which featured over 50 First Nations businesses spanning professional services, construction, tourism, education, health, creative industries, retail and cultural enterprises.
Throughout the day, suppliers, buyers and industry leaders forged new connections and explored opportunities for future collaboration. Tailored masterclasses, business pitches, networking opportunities and an engaging panel discussion provided valuable insights to support First Nations business growth.
Congratulations to Sandpoppy Weaving, winner of the 2026 Business Pitch Prize, and thank you to every exhibitor, speaker, attendee and partner who contributed to the event's success.
