Tipu Pakihi 2026 Business Awards

Come celebrate with us and share an evening of stories, collective celebration, and whanaungatanga. Does a glass of bubbles on arrival, a three course meal, and a boutique Māori Christmas Market sound good? Join us for Tipu Pakihi 2026, Te Matarau a Māui's annual celebration of pakihi Māori across the Greater Wellington region. We bring together business owners, leaders, and supporters. Come and honour four businesses receiving network awards and recognise two rangatira entering Te Whare Pukenga for outstanding contribution to Māori business. The pakihi Māori sector is a high-growth part of the broader economy, and it is growing in confidence, capability, and ambition. Tipu Pakihi is where that community gathers to connect and to celebrate. There are people waiting to shape the Māori business in the region with you... (Tickets are just $80.00 each - bring a friend, colleague or shout a table).
