"I'm stimulated by what I have witnessed here today. It is encouragement to myself to go out and be an advisor to all community people who have an interest in developing business to do so. There are structures there that will assist them to make their mark and contribute to Indigenous society, but to society in general. To maintain and prosper the wealth of this state of Queensland and to be able to share in that wealth."

Dr. Robert Andersen

"To have Aboriginal business recognised and active in the business community, I think is a very good step forward."

John Blackburn
Chairperson
Fernvale Chamber of Commerce

"I think we should have a better networking system in Brisbane so that we can really work with each other. When you put them all together, all these businesses, its a fairly big economic dollar value and we can absolutely inter-connect, share ideas and business, as well."

"When you come into business, especially as a young person, you need to have a lot of support. You need to have a lot of people behind you, so that you can succeed. To push yourself forward, to push your company or companies forward. Having so many people as the Chamber would have, would be a great asset to any company, especially if its is a young person."

"It's absolutely important in terms of providing a platform for Indigenous business and looking at how we can move ahead and also work in partnership with mainstream organisations. Giving them exposure to professional business people that are out there."
