Mikaela Jade

Cabrogal woman from the Dharug Nation who founded Indigital in 2014 - Australia’s first Indigenous-owned edu-tech company. From her base in Kakadu National Park, Jade uses augmented reality to share Indigenous stories on Country, revolutionising how ancient cultural knowledge is preserved and shared. Winner of the Veuve Clicquot New Generation Award and World Economic Forum Global Futures Council member, she demonstrates how Indigenous knowledge systems can lead to cutting-edge technology rather than just adapt to it.
