Whiua ki te Ao! 2024

Te Mana Pakihi and Velocity are proudly collaborating to bring you Whiua ki te Ao!, a University of Auckland celebration of Māori innovation and entrepreneurship.

This event will run in the format of group roundtable discussions, where founders will speak to a group of tauira before rotating to the next group, giving everyone a chance to ask questions and have discussions in a smaller, more open and relaxed setting. Speakers will be discussing their journeys and the relevance of tikanga in everyday business.

The event will be followed by kai and networking - everyone is welcome. Come join this celebration alongside entrepreneurs and business leaders and get inspired to unleash your potential upon the world!
