ICN NT plays a vital role in strengthening the Northern Territory economy by helping local businesses find opportunities within major projects.
We ensure Territory businesses – large and small – have a fair chance to compete and succeed in winning contracts with projects. By promoting local capability and encouraging investment, we help keep economic benefit in the Northern Territory and support long-term job and industrial prosperity.
Our work aligns closely with the Territory Benefit Plan (TBP) policy and the Australian Industry Participation (AIP) framework, supporting government priorities that keep more investment and jobs in the Northern Territory.
We help:
- Increase local business participation in major projects
- Strengthen industry capability
- Support policy goals that drive industrial growth
- ICN NT connects industry, government, and business to create real local impact
