Register for Te Kahui Pakihi o Te Taihauāuru 2020 | Te Tai Hauāuru Māori Business Summit 2020
Five Māori business networks between Porirua and New Plymouth have come together to host the first Te Tai Hauāuru Māori business summit and to shape a regional strategy to support Māori businesses and whānau through the anticipated economic recession.
Named, Te Kāhui Pakihi o Te Tai Hauāuru, the hui will provide the opportunity for the networks to promote their members, share their experiences, explore opportunities and to hear from an exciting array of speakers.
Guest speakers include the Minister for Māori Development, Hon. Nanaia Mahuta and MP for Te Tai Hauāuru, Adrian Rurawhe. Presentations on social procurement, Māori employment and the recently launched online Māori mall, Hokohoko will be provided.
The Greater Wellington Regional Council team will also launch their regional Māori economic development strategy, Te Matarau o Maui during the day. Spokesperson for Awarua, the Porirua Māori business network, Liz Kelly felt that “through social procurement arrangements with both local and central government, Māori businesses will be able to collaborate and grow their capacity”.
Due to ongoing Covid-19 uncertainty, the organisers have made the decision to make this a digital hui with the five networks coming together online.
Business breakfasts are being hosted in Whanganui, Manawatū, Ōtaki and Porirua, details of these events can be viewed on our website www.trp.maori.nz. The networks are encouraging all Māori in business or thinking about starting up a business in the region to join the hui either in person or online – you don’t have to be a network member.
