The third Hui Hihiri was held on March 20, 2025 at The Pā, Te Whare Wānanga o Waikato. This national wānanga provides Māori across the Rangahau, Research, Science, Innovation and Technology (RRSIT) spaces, an opportunity to gather and foster spontaneous energy, grow connections and be inspired. As our first in-person event, Hui Hihiri 2025 was a resounding success; sharing of kōrero and hearing first-hand from te iwi Māori about their aspirations, challenges and successes.
Kāore e ārikarika ngā mihi ki ēnei kaitoutoko: Ngā Pae o Māramatanga, Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, The University of Waikato, and Waikato-Tainui.
