How We Support Indigenous Investment Opportunities
Our purpose is to be a financial catalyst for partnerships and projects that generate sustainable inter-generational revenues for Indigenous Nations and groups.
AIOC was established by the Government of Alberta to assist Indigenous Nations and groups by providing the tools and supports they require to invest in medium to large-scale investment opportunities – and share in Alberta’s economic prosperity.
We facilitate Indigenous investment opportunities by providing eligible Indigenous Nations and groups with access to loan guarantees between $20 million and $250 million. This financial backstop allows these groups to secure loans from banks and other lenders. Projects can involve a single nation, group or a consortium of Indigenous partners.
