Danjoo Koorliny is a large-scale, long-term, systems-change movement designed and led by Aboriginal people to help us all walk together towards 2029 (200 years of colonisation in Perth), and beyond https://danjookoorliny.com.au/. The leaders of Danjoo Koorliny are Dr Noel Nannup OAM, Dr Richard Walley OAM, and Carol Innes AM. Danjoo Koorliny works across the environmental, social, economic and cultural pillars.

The Djilba Summit is focused on the economic and business pillar of Danjoo Koorliny and will take place on August 5-6, 2025, at the University of Western Australia. It is a groundbreaking event that unites Aboriginal leaders, investors, and industry innovators to create lasting change. It’s a platform where traditional knowledge and modern innovation converge to drive economic and cultural transformation.

With structured speaker hubs, immersive cultural spaces, a business expo, and a closed-door investment platform, the Summit creates space for the ideas, enterprises, and partnerships that will shape the next chapter of First Nations futures.

Why this Summit?

For decades, many First Nations summits have provided a forum for discussion; this one is aimed at tangible, measurable outcomes that communities need. Barriers to economic inclusion, cultural sustainability, and technological access remain unresolved. The Danjoo Koorliny Summit is not another talkfest. The Summit is a launchpad for action, empowering Aboriginal entrepreneurs, protecting cultural heritage, and building long-term partnerships that transform conversations into results.
