A highlight of the annual Hui Hihiri in early 2025 was the launch of Ngā Tohu Kanapu – awards acknowledging Māori excellence in rangahau, research, science, innovation and technology.

Kanapu – a programme designed by New Zealand’s Māori Centre of Research Excellence, Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga, to connect, attract, nurture and accelerate Māori talent and leadership in research, science, innovation and technology.
