Overview

Black Business Finder (BBF) is an online database established to give Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses an opportunity to be involved and benefit from major project currently under way in Queensland. BBF is also a directory for anyone wanting to procure any products and services from a Queensland Indigenous business. The Queensland Government commissioned the Industry Capability Network (ICN) Queensland to develop the BBF database to link ICN's comprehensive national listing of major projects - through an online tool called ICN Gateway. Importantly the BBF is a resource for major project owners to source Indigenous businesses wanting to get involved in providing goods and services for major projects throughout Queensland. This is good for Indigenous businesses and good for major projects. Currently, the ICN national database contains project opportunities worth over $400 billion and more than 70,000 registered suppliers. BBF is embedded inside this mainstream supply chain system listing more than 390 Indigenous businesses employing over 6,500 workers with more than half of these being Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islanders.
