Indigenous communities and development corporations partner with us to achieve their business and community objectives.
By harnessing our vast expertise and utilizing our innovative Online Business Connectors, they can establish valuable connections with verified ABM Member Companies quickly and according to their priorities. This streamlined process allows to explore new opportunities efficiently and ensures accelerated success.
Taking part in this collaboration is completely cost-free for communities and development corporations. We only require a commitment to mutual success through active participation.
“We at the K'omoks Economic Development Corporation pursue opportunities in several industries.
Hosting our own ABM Business Connectors saves us time and expands our network. It is a highly efficient way to make new connections with decision-makers who understand our community-directed approach.
ABM helps us to source culturally competent companies we want to hire or partner with.”
Jen Knox, CEO, KEDC

The Process
Our community partners decide on dates and times for their Online Business Connector series. For us to be effective and for our partners to be successful, we require a commitment to hold a minimum of four Connectors over 12 months.
We create our partners’ Online Business Connectors in our proprietary virtual environment.
Based on our partners’ priorities and goals, we invite companies with matching business interests and make sure the right people attend.
On the day of the Connector, our software creates private video feeds for each confirmed meeting.
A debrief after each Connector ensures we understand goals correctly and curate the next Connector effectively.
Important
ABM facilitates introduction only. We are never privy to conversations and any next steps are always entirely up to the introduced parties.
There is no obligation for our community partners other than to work with us collaboratively and to honor confirmed appointments.
We understand that schedules change and dates for the Online Business Connectors can be moved.
If you are an Indigenous community or development corporation, we are looking forward to meeting with you to see how we can assist your business goals.
If you are a company and would like to develop opportunities with our partners above, book a meeting with us. We are looking forward to learning more about you.
