Nei ra te reo o Aoraki maunga e topa atu ana ki a koutou hai mihi. E kore rawa ta Tahu Potiki puna whakamihi e mimiti noa. Ko koutou tera e whakaheke motuhi ana kia whai oranga ai te iwi Maori. Kua roa nei koutou e whakaporo riaka ana kia ea ai ng? wawata o o koutou ake whanau, o o koutou ake hapu, o o koutou ake iwi. Ko nga puapua ki aromea kua tutuki i a koutou. No reira, kei te mihi. Eke panuku, eke Tangaroa.
Na koutou te reo karanga, na matou ng? kupu tautoko kia okea ururoatia nga taunahua o te iwi Maori. E ai ki te whakatauki a o tatou nei tupuna, ki te kotahi te kakaho ka whati, ki te kapuia te kakaho e kore e whati. No reira e aku rangatira, nei ra te karanga o Aoraki maunga ki nga topito katoa o te motu kia karapinepine mai i raro i te whakaaro kotahi. No reira e aku manukura, nau mai tauti mai ki raro i tona poho hai wananga, hai korerorero, hai ara whakamua mo tatou, a, mo ka uri a muri ake nei.
Tena koutou, tena koutou, tena koutou katoa.
Our traditions are rich with stories of Inter-Iwi commercial collaboration and trade. This wananga is dedicated to bringing those traditions into the 21st Century, with a particular focus on how Iwi can actively drive and benefit from infrastructure investment and public-private partnerships within a kaupapa Maori framework.
The wananga aims to bring together Iwi and Maori organisation asset managers and representatives, with technical experts in infrastructure and public private partnerships, to identify the many immediate and coming opportunities for Iwi collaboration in infrastructure investment, and most importantly, to wananga how we as Iwi Maori can co-invest together in a kaupapa Maori way.
This is a by Iwi for Iwi wananga.
E hara toku toa he toa takitahi engari taku toa he toa takitini

Nga Whainga
The wananga is intended to support Iwi to collectively determine how we will co-invest in infrastructure and public-private partnerships (PPPs). The programme format is designed so that Iwi attendees wananga across the two days how each aspect of the commercial opportunities and arrangements for infrastructure investment and PPPs can be done in a kaupapa Maori way.
Infrastructre investment and PPPs are an important new frontier for Aotearoa New Zealand, and the objectives for this w?nanga are to contribute to;
- Iwi Maori securing and realising our competitive edge in infrastructure investment;
- Iwi Maori securing and realising the benefits for our people from the intergenerational nature of infrastructure investment;
- Iwi Maori securing and realising the immense potential of Iwi doing business together and building on our enduring aspirations for kotahitanga.
The wananga will seek to deliver a number of practical outcomes for each Iwi attendee including;
- Identifying the key infrastructure development and investment opportunities in your rohe and the country as a whole;
- Knowing the process for pulling together a public private partnership, including how to interact with the government and the private sector;
- Identifying the different funding options for infrastructure investment;
- Evaluating the value of infrastructure investment for your Iwi.
The technical content on these outcomes will be provided by subject matter specialists from PricewaterhouseCoopers.
The collective outcomes that we hope the wananga will produce are;
- Identifying the opportunities for inter-Iwi commercial collaboration in infrastructure now and in the future;
- Developing kaupapa Maori models for PPP consortia and commercial collaboration; and
- Discussing how Iwi can work together now to ensure that when the infrastructure waka leaves town, that we are the kaihaut?.
We will also produce a record of proceedings from the wananga that will be available to all Iwi and hapu, covering both the technical content of infrastructure and PPPs, as well as the discussions on a kaupapa Maori approach to infrastructure investment and inter-Iwi collaboration.
