Assignment: Weekly SWOT.
“‘This community we are building is really needed in Arizona and in the country. There are no other spaces like it,’ said Dr. Traci Morris, AIPI director and Inno-NATIONS founder. ‘In fact, there are few tribal incubators in the country. We see the need, and the Phoenix Valley has a very large urban Indian population with a strong commitment to tribal business owners and is surrounded by tribes with tribal enterprises. Now is the time and this is the place.’ By spearheading innovative partnerships and leveraging resources from ASU, tribes and community organizations, game-changers at Inno-NATIONS hope the ‘collision community’ will cause a ripple effect of change in tribal communities. The goal is to support up-and-coming Native American entrepreneurs and ignite enterprises to fuel sustainable tribal economies by rejuvenating and modernizing traditional trade networks.”
