TE HAPORI O WHāRIKI

A Digital Tūrangawaewae for Māori Business & Professionals

Whāriki goes beyond the traditional idea of a business network -  it’s a tūrangawaewae, a culturally safe space for any Māori business or professional, anywhere. Our private online community platform was created with our whānau in mind: a digital hub where members can connect, collaborate, access resources, seek advice, and support one another.

Why Join a Māori Business Network?

In the Māori economy, business networks play a crucial role in fostering growth and success. At Whāriki, we view networking as the weaving of whanaungatanga in the business world. Our kaupapa is to create a platform where professional relationships are formed, experiences are shared, and collaboration thrives. By helping businesses enhance their capabilities, expand their reach, and boost profitability, we contribute to the development of the Māori economy, enabling growth and creating employment opportunities for others.
