Author bio

Mikaela Jade is a Cabrogal woman of the Dharug-speaking nation of Sydney. Her company, Indigital, founded in 2014, is Australia’s first Indigenous tech company. Indigital is built on a belief that together we can use digital technologies to express 80’000 years of human knowledge while engaging our people in education that leads to skills, jobs, and wealth creation to build a stronger future for all.

Indigital Schools, the company’s flagship program, is an elder-led, curriculum-integrated exploration of cultural expressions, heritage and knowledge through augmented and mixed reality production. It exists to preserve, access and share traditional knowledge, language and law.

Mikaela and her company have achieved several honours. In 2019 Mikaela addressed the UN in New York to demonstrate the impact of new technologies in Indigenous communities, she is a World Economic Forum Global Futures Council Member, UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues delegate, and an Indigenous Entrepreneur in Residence at the University of Wollongong.
