Entries are now open for the Māori Hi-Tech Company of the Year at the 2026 NZ Hi-Tech Awards – Aotearoa’s premier celebration of technology-led innovation, impact and commercial success.
Māori tech businesses — this is your moment. Step forward.
If your company is Māori-owned, Māori-led, or grounded in Māori values — and you made a commercial sale in 2025 — this category exists to recognise your kaupapa, your growth, and your contribution to the tech economy.
Presented by GreenMount Capital and Poutama Trust, this award shines a spotlight on Māori tech companies building commercially strong businesses while staying true to kaupapa Māori.
Entering puts your story in front of the wider tech ecosystem — investors, partners, customers and peers — and positions your business as one to watch.
Entered before and didn’t make finalist or winner? Enter again.
Many past finalists and winners weren’t successful the first time. They entered again once their business had matured, their impact had grown, and their story was clearer. If you’ve progressed since your last entry, don’t sit it out — this is how momentum is built.
