Our Innovations Hub

We believe in the power of innovation to preserve and share ancestral knowledge.

Our commitment to the future of Māori cultural heritage including upholding the integrity and liveliness of te reo Māori–the heritage language of Aotearoa-New Zealand–drives us to explore new ways of preserving and sharing ancestral knowledge.

Through leveraging advanced technologies like virtual reality and artificial intelligence, and integrating this with logical, yet innovative thinking, and combining them with Māori-centric ways of working, we create values-based pathways to collective abundance that is future-focussed and serves generations to come.

Our Innovations Hub leads and supports projects that align with this vision.

If you have innovative ideas or big challenges that require out-of-the-box solutions, we would love to hear from you.
