“The biggest hurdle is still access to capital. Without that, even the best opportunities can’t move forward.” – Scott Alanen, AIOC VP of Investment
In the latest episode of the Forward Together Podcast, from the team at Forward Summit, Scott joins host Rod Miller to discuss how AIOC works with Indigenous Nations and groups to overcome barriers to accessing capital for investments.

Tune in to learn more around how this approach makes generational, revenue-producing investments possible—projects that strengthen economic sovereignty and generate impact.
