Ngā Pōito o te Kupenga:Iwi Business Database

Ngāti Pāoa Iwi Trust and the Ngāti Tamaterā Treaty Settlement Trust have teamed up to create opportunities for businesses in our communities. At the heart of this collaboration is the utilisation of the Iwi Investment Grant to establish Ngā Pōito o te Kupenga, an iwi business database.

The primary goal is to enhance access to business opportunities for Ngāti Tamaterā and Ngāti Pāoa businesses, particularly in the government procurement sector. By pooling resources and knowledge, these businesses can better identify and seize contracts offered by government agencies, such as Auckland Council and its Council Controlled Organisations.

Phase one of this collaboration will focus on creating and growing this database, and phase two will see businesses gain access to valuable training through workshops and networking events. Creating opportunities to hone skills, build connections with other like-minded entrepreneurs, and even find mentors to guide them on their journey.
