Māori start ups course ready to go
Māori fisheries settlement organisation Tapuwae Roa has teamed up with Sprout Agritech and Callaghan Innovation to create a 10-week programme for Māori start-ups.
Chief executive Te Pūoho Kātene says the Tupu programme will pick 10 early-stage companies and equip them with the essential tools, mentorship, and resources to grow their businesses.

The programme will be facilitated by experienced business coach Saara Tawha,
