What is Amazon First Nations Business Accelerator?

Amazon Australia is inviting First Nations businesses who have a physical direct-to-customer product and want to expand their business online to apply for the Amazon First Nations Business Accelerator. We appreciate that emerging brands have different challenges than those faced by more established businesses, so this 90-day offer is designed to help address these needs and build a strong foundation for growth, including advertising strategy, brand marketing, onboarding to the Amazon store, listing creation, and inbounding to our top-notch fulfilment centres.

There are 25 positions available for the Accelerator, and our internal category experts along with our third party service provider, Export Accelerator, will select the recipients. The recipients will engage Export Accelerator to use their services for a 90-day period without charge.
