We have the courage to give things a go.
We lead by example, and trust others to do the same.
We use and share our knowledge to create better outcomes for all.
We support others to be successful in their roles and lives.
Supporting Māori innovators and their pakihi is one of our two main commitments. By embracing te ao Māori values and mātauranga Māori, we enrich our country’s innovation landscape, infusing it with diverse and unique perspectives. This approach cultivates a dynamic and inclusive entrepreneurial environment, sparking innovative solutions to complex challenges. It also ensures we are contributing to building a more prosperous Aotearoa New Zealand, today and for future generations.
