Indigenous Enterprises Foundation
Five programs · One mission

We support Indigenous companies at every stage

From initial registration to strategic alliances. Our work is organized in five complementary programs designed to build, step by step, the ecosystem of Indigenous economic autonomy.

01
Registry

Indigenous Ventures Registry

We invite Indigenous entrepreneurs and companies in Chile to enroll in a national registry to contribute to their visibility, networking and strengthening. Registration is free, fully digital and open to people from the 11 recognized peoples.

02
Formalization

Venture Formalization

We advise Indigenous entrepreneurs through the process of legally formalizing as companies. Support in legal structure, incorporation, tax-agency registration and business model design with cultural relevance.

Indigenous Companies Development

We provide tools, training and strategic support to strengthen the capabilities of Indigenous business owners. Training, mentoring and connection with support networks.

Alliances

Strategic Alliances

We build bridges between Indigenous companies and responsible firms in Chile and Latin America to create shared economies. We connect with major corporations, international agencies and strategic allies.

Voices that guide us

In the Mapuche language the word for 'poor' didn't exist. Poverty was something the Mapuche People did not know and that we must leave behind.

Andrés Antivil

President, Indigenous Enterprises Foundation

Indigenous peoples are not vulnerable. We lack opportunity, we lack possibility, we lack being seen with the right eyes.

Eufrosina Cruz

Zapotec leader from Mexico

Indigenous Peoples have participated in international trade for millennia. In modern economies, Indigenous companies have shown remarkable resilience with enormous growth potential.
