• the role of Indigenous perspectives, knowledge and culture in social innovation;
• the potential for socially innovative concepts, practices, relationships and enterprises to influence Indigenous enterprises and communities; and
• the notion of Indigenous Innovation, a unique form of social innovation led by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and informed by their perspectives.
