The supermarket chain’s ‘Kete’ accelerator programme is focused on helping encourage a more diverse supplier base in Aotearoa, including businesses owned by Māori, Pasifika, youth, women, LGBTQIA+ people and people with disabilities.

Kete aims to support up to five small and diverse businesses through a 12-month specialised programme to each business – with access to a package of support and resources worth over $250,000 each.

Applications close 15 August 2021.  More information can be found here.
