Innovation is core to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture. Communal knowledge creates a productive environment for innovative thinking.  The acceleration of change and the scale of disruption from data, digital technologies, globalisation and other forces means Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, communities and businesses must evolve to survive.  We exist to use Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders spiritual and cultural knowledge, and our way of living to strategically design transformational policies and programs that strengthen our cultures, languages and knowledge.

 

For YGT this means solving big, complex societal, industry and community issues and capitalising on opportunities to help deliver outcomes that progress, optimise and protect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, cultural knowledge and Country. We know that because we've helped countless clients to innovate using Meriam, Mbabaram, Woppabjurra and Yalanji, language, cultural knowledge and ecosystems. And we've also had to adapt. So, we've taken our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander innovation, which is at the heart of our cultural ecosystem – so you, and we, can make the change in the world that empowers and upholds self-determination.
