Though our platform benefits all members, we do how ever advocate for greater inclusion and engagement of Indigenous and non indigenous members. While the majority of Indigenous business do not subscribe to national platforms such as Merx, ITFC provides all levels of government an alternative platform dedicated to the inclusion and engagement of Indigenous business. The ITFC Indigenous Inclusion Initiative is a campaign to establish a database of over 55,000 Indigenous Business and tens of thousands of Freelancers across a multitude of industries and specialities.

These challenges often prevent capable businesses from accessing lucrative opportunities that could significantly boost their growth.
