Advanced Business Match is a powerful online and in-person business matching forum. Owned by an Indigenous company, it connects a national network of decision makers to create opportunities for business.

Indigenous and non-Indigenous community and business leaders meet potential partners for projects in industries that range from natural resources to construction, tourism services and supply, manufacturing, retail and more, as they look to forge sustainable, prosperous futures.

Events take place on traditional territories in major cities across Canada. They are a highly efficient way to connect commercial interests and drive economic growth.

ABM’s results-driven structure makes it hyper-productive. Delegates apply online. ABM ensures their projects and goals are a fit for the tailored ABM Indigenous: Southern Ontario network. Once accepted, ABM delegates prepare potential business matches by reviewing detailed online profiles and selecting appointments with each other.

These usually translate into 20-minute meetings that take place face to face. To keep business moving forward while we stay at home to combat COVID-19, ABM has recently created new proprietary software that enables delegates to meet online instead. Therefore, the event will take place in ABM’s private online platform June 9 & 10, with an in person event slated for November 30 – December 2.

Visit the ABM events page to see who’s already registered. You could be among over 100 key decision makers ready to do business. Ask us how you can receive 10% off your registration.

ABM delegates return year after year, and often attend events across the country. This is due to the invaluable relationships and collaborations that take place each time. In 2019, two out of ten delegates left ABM with a concrete deal in place, and seven out of ten expected to close deals as a result of their attendance.*

ABM is owned and produced by Raven Events, an Indigenous business located in Tla’amin on the Sunshine Coast. You can reach them at info@advancedbusinessmatch.com or 1-604-483-3532.
