Maori natural entrepreneurs
The GM of Maori at Callaghan Innovation, has just finished the Matariki Exponential Conference, looking at building better, faster pathways to showcase Maori entrepreneurs.
The conference, had both local and international Maori in business speak about failure and success to about 100 rangatahi.
He says the speakers highlighted just how entrepreneurial Maori are.
"We are natural entrepreneurs but it's the execution and the mindset that we are working on because you're hearing from a lot of people and their different pathways. There's some that have gone along and got a really good business or relevant education or some have just gone on to develop their business. And it's that sort of attitude and self belief and over coming that failure because I think sometimes we are our own worst enemy," he says.
