FIRST NATIONS INVESTMENT FORUM 2025

Join us in Vancouver for the inaugural First Nations Investment Forum (FNIF)—the first national conference led and organized by First Nations to accelerate Indigenous investment, ownership, and economic sovereignty.

As Canada enters a new era of economic reconciliation, FNIF 2025 will serve as a vital national platform to connect Indigenous Nations and major projects with capital, legal expertise, government, and industry partners—advancing infrastructure, energy, natural resources, and clean growth initiatives through Nation-to-Nation collaboration and values-driven investment.

This landmark gathering will bring together Indigenous governments, economic development corporations, high-growth project proponents, institutional investors, and policymakers to build the partnerships and policy momentum that will shape Canada’s financial future.
