Embracing Te Ao Māori represents an opportunity for New Zealand businesses to gain a unique perspective on the world that blends profit with purpose.  It also creates a secure environment for Māori, often in industries where they’re underrepresented. Increasing cultural capability is a chance for businesses to communicate more fluently with Māori businesses. Pre Covid-19, the Māori economy was valued at $50 billion. Globally, te ao Māori has become a powerful marketing tool for New Zealand brands.
