Growing tech businesses from a Te Ao Māori perspective

The biggest challenges tech companies face in Aotearoa are raising capital and finding great talent, and it’s no different for Māori tech businesses. However, with Te ao Māori principles driving intergenerational tech businesses, these challenges must be approached uniquely.

Join Te Taurapa Tūhono | New Zealand Trade & Enterprise (NZTE) and our panellists from across the motu for a rich kōrero on the challenges of raising capital and finding talent from a Te ao Māori perspective.

In this 60-minute webinar, our panel of inspirational Māori leaders will discuss:

· How to make a compelling pitch, and incorporate Tīkanga Māori as a strength and as a unique selling point (USP)

· The opportunity and challenges of raising capital from iwi investors

· What we need to do to tautoko the tech businesses of today, and rangitahi - the entrepreneurs of tomorrow

· The responsibility of today’s Māori tech entrepreneurs to set an example and inspire the next generation

· Our panellists’ experiences on both cultivating and strengthening Tīkanga Māori at mahi, and working within their values with non-Māori customers and investors
