About Aksis
Empowering Indigenous Businesses and Entrepreneurs
Aksis is a community-driven Indigenous organization that empowers both Indigenous and non-Indigenous entrepreneurs and professionals to define success on their own terms. We foster connection through shared learning, authentic conversations, and access to opportunities that spark growth.
Founded on December 8th, 2010, Aksis was created to elevate Indigenous voices within Edmonton’s business landscape. From the beginning, we’ve brought together individuals building success on their own terms. Rooted in the strength of community, we continue to foster collaboration, mentorship, and shared learning, now connecting and supporting Indigenous entrepreneurs and professionals across Canada.
