Trent Fequet Featured in National Webinar on Indigenous Peoples as Project Partners

In September 2020, Steel River Group Founder and CEO Trent Fequet was featured as a presenter in a national webinar focused on Indigenous Peoples as Project Partners and the role of investors in advancing responsible business conduct.

The event brought together leaders from business, investment, and Indigenous governance to discuss how stronger partnerships with Indigenous communities can create better long-term outcomes for projects, companies, and Canada’s economy.

The discussion explored several important themes, including:

• Indigenous communities as equity and business partners

• Responsible investment practices and reconciliation

• Respecting Indigenous rights in project development

• Long-term value creation through collaboration

• Building new models for economic participation

During the session, Trent shared Steel River Group’s perspective on creating alignment between industry, Indigenous communities, and strategic partners through relationship-driven business models.

The webinar also highlighted Steel River Group’s growing reputation as a voice in national conversations around Indigenous economic development nd practical partnership structures.

By 2020, Steel River Group had already become known for helping reimagine how Indigenous-owned businesses can create, capture, and expand value through meaningful participation in major projects and new ventures.

This appearance marked another milestone in Steel River Group’s emergence as a recognized leader in the evolving future of Indigenous-industry partnerships.
