Ngā hihi o Matariki 2022 Business & Trade Series

Ngā hihi o Matariki 2022 Business & Trade Digital Series  is about to kick off tomorrow.  Please join our NZTE Director of Trade in Taiwan - Tina Wilson (Ngāti Tukorehe, Ngāti Raukawa, Muaupoko, Rangitane ki te Wairau, Ngāti Rarua Atiawa, Ngāi Tahu) for this inaugural digital seminar series.

Register now to hear from our fantastic line up of Māori and Indigenous Taiwanese Businesses.  Our aim is to create opportunities to meet, share, learn from each other,  whilst looking for authentic collaborations together.

As Matariki rises in Aotearoa New Zealand, signalling the Māori New Year, a time to reflect on the past, a time to come together and plan for the future, the many rays of Matariki shine brightly on Taiwan. Ngā Hihi o Matariki is about bringing together Māori businesses and Taiwanese Indigenous businesses to connect, share and learn about each other, from each other. Māori and Indigenous Taiwanese have a deep connection – 5,000 years of whakapapa – genealogical connections and history.  The pacific ocean was our highway then and still is today. Our Free Trade Agreement – ANZTEC, especially chapter 19 is one of the tools to help our business connections thrive.

As part of the Digital Series, New Zealand Trade Development Centre (NZTE) in partnerships with the Council of Indigenous People of Taiwan would like to invite you to attend our Business Seminar this week, where we will explore four different themes. Each session will have a keynote speaker, a case studies from NZ Māori Businesses and Indigenous Taiwanese Businesses and a live panel discussion. We think this would be a great opportunity for you to learn more about relevant business opportunities and challenges from Māori and Indigenous Taiwanese businesses. You may also discover potential opportunities for your business.
