 Te Awe is one of the oldest Māori Business networks in Aotearoa.  Te Awe is a community for those who whakapapa Māori, support Pakihi Māori, or simply believe in the strength of our people in business. Whether you run your own pakihi, are part of a whānau or iwi backing kaupapa Māori business or just want to connect with and uplift our Māori business community, you’re welcome here. We know that Māori business thrives when we move together — pakihi, hapū, iwi, and whānau side by side.

Whanaungatanga in Action

Join our hui where kōrero flows, ideas spark, and meaningful connections are made.

Whether you're a tauira, a pakihi owner, supporter, or future entrepreneur, there’s always space for you at the table.

Connect with Rangatira

Learn from Māori and non-Māori leaders who are walking the talk in business.

Their insights into today’s challenges and tomorrow’s opportunities will leave you inspired and equipped.

Stay in the Loop

Keep up with what’s happening across the Māori business world.

From policy changes to market trends – we keep our whānau informed, connected, and ready to grow.

Member Perks

We will look after you as a valued member. You’ll access exclusive training and development opportunities and support through our Te Awe network – making every dollar stretch further.

Celebrating You - Our Pakihi

Our biennial Te Awe Business Awards are all about shining a light on Māori excellence. It’s not just about trophies – it’s about recognition, pride, and inspiration for the next generation.

Te Ao Māori at the Heart

This isn’t just business – it’s kaupapa. Every hui, every handshake, every decision is grounded in our values: whanaungatanga, manaakitanga, kotahitanga. We uplift each other, together.

A Place for Everyone

You don’t have to own a business to be part of Te Awe. If you believe in the power of Māori business and want to be part of something bigger – nau mai, haere mai.
