Kōkiri is a Māori business acceleration programme, based on kaupapa Māori values, focused on accelerating early-stage Māori led start-ups who have bold ambitions, are impact positive and technology based.

Poutama was proud to sponsor the 2021 programme which saw several Māori businesses supported with: access to a cash grant for the development of their product/innovation, access to mentors with industry, technical expertise and national investor groups and much more.

On 13 August, there will be a Kōkiri Showcase – an opportunity to celebrate the end of the 2021 programme and showcase this year’s businesses.  More information about the upcoming showcase can be found on Facebook and at Eventbrite.
