    Indigenous businesses contribute over $30 billion annually to Canada’s economy. Yet, digital barriers—from high Internet costs and unreliable broadband to limited access to digital tools and training—continue to hold them back. By closing the digital divide, we can unlock billions more in economic activity, create jobs, and strengthen Canada’s global competitiveness. The Indigenous Prosperity Foundation is proud to release Bridging the Digital Divide: Enhancing Access for Indigenous Entrepreneurs in Canada, a report that presents real solutions to unlock economic growth and opportunity.
