Luke Briscoe, 39, is an Indigenous Australian business leader on a mission to expand Indigenous involvement in the national economy, especially through STEM (STEM is an acronym for the fields of science, technology, engineering and math).

Over the last few decades, there has been a surge in Indigenous ownership of small businesses in Australia, which is changing the face of Australian business.

Briscoe is the founder and CEO of INDIGI LAB, a Sydney-based Indigenous owned and operated business that aims to create innovative projects for social and environmental change through digital culture. Briscoe says the larger objective is to, “create a future where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians are leading in science, technology and digital innovation.”
