CL2IMB – COLLABORATIVE LEADERSHIP 2 INSPIRE MĀORI BUSINESS

With the support of our sponsors and partners, Poutama successfully delivered 20 CL2IMB Events throughout Aotearoa between 2017 and 2019.  Poutama believes in a collaborative approach to enterprise assistance for Māori entrepreneurs building on Poutama’s independence, neutrality and capability.

The CL2IMB series of events has now ended and was highly successful.  Poutama look forward to working with our partners on a new model, with targeted outcomes through partners with specific expertise to grow business success.

WHAT WAS CL2IMB?

CL2IMB was a 3 hour network event designed to share information, opportunities and connections to support and accelerate Māori business success.  The event was a collaboration between provider organisations, agencies and Māori enterprise.  Each event consisted of eight strategic partners who share: their organisation; the services they provide; and their top tips for business.  Funding, training, mentors, loans, accelerator programmes and more.

WHO WAS CL2IMB FOR?

We encouraged both businesses and agencies to attend CL2IMB to gain the knowledge and connections to access the resources available.
