Tēnā koutou katoa,
Nau mai, haere mai ki te Pānui o Poutama – your monthly hit of inspo, insight, and Māori business magic!
As we pass the halfway point of the year, marked by Matariki mā Puanga, it’s the perfect time to pause, reflect, and reconnect. Our pānui is your space to stay connected, celebrate the journeys of our Pakihi Māori whānau, and share kaupapa that inspire and uplift us all.
Need a Boost for Your Pakihi? We’ve Got You. Poutama is part of the Regional Business Partner (RBP) Network, supporting pakihi Māori across Aotearoa with real, practical help — funded by the Government. Reach out to one of the Poutama team now!
We hope you enjoy the read. Got thoughts, ideas, or just wanna say kia ora? We’d love to hear from you!
