Tēnā koutou katoa,

Nau mai, haere mai ki te Pānui o Poutama – your monthly dose of inspo, insight, and Māori business magic!

As we head into November, the energy across the Poutama network remains high.  The past month has been full of connection, celebration, and visibility for Māori enterprise — from national awards and business clinics to new partnerships taking shape.

We were proud to stand alongside our partners at the MWDI Māori Businesswomen’s Awards and the KUMA Māori Business Expo & Awards, two flagship events that continue to spotlight Māori excellence and leadership in enterprise.  These kaupapa remind us why staying visible and connected is so important, especially in challenging times.

Meanwhile, our kaimahi have been out in the regions supporting pakihi Māori through the Regional Business Partner programme, investment grants, and new opportunities for collaboration heading into summer.

We’ve got you. Poutama is proud to be part of the Regional Business Partner (RBP) Network, supporting pakihi Māori across Aotearoa with real, practical help.  Reach out to one of the Poutama team and let’s kōrero about how we can awhi your journey.

Scroll down to read more about these highlights — and a few glimpses of what’s coming next for Poutama.

We hope you enjoy the read.  Got thoughts, ideas, or just wanna say kia ora?  We’d love to hear from you!
