About
He aha tēnei?
Building a pakihi can be exciting, rewarding... and sometimes lonely.
Through this partnership between Waikato-Tainui and Te Ngahere, eligible Puna Pakihi members can now apply for subsidised access to Te Ngahere — South Auckland's home for Māori entrepreneurs, creators, innovators and changemakers.
Whether you're just getting started or already growing your business, Te Ngahere offers a professional environment where you can focus on your mahi, connect with others on a similar journey, and become part of a thriving entrepreneurial community.
This pilot is designed to make it easier for Puna Pakihi whānau to access the space, relationships and environment that help businesses grow.
