Our goal is to ignite curiosity and inspire innovation for the betterment of all people. 

Our Programme

Our internships are for 3-months and will see up to 15 promising Māori leaders placed over the next three years, beginning with an inaugural cohort in the first half of 2024.

We aim to be a catalyst, inspiring a new generation of Māori innovators to think global. By opening-up our global network with startups that are changing the world in food and agriculture, we hope to inspire candidates to expand their horizons, for the betterment of our people.

We are open to all enquiries and are planning other international placement opportunities. So make sure to register to receive our updates.

Programme Overview

Te Ara Pōtiki recognises the significant impact that globally aware and connected Māori leaders in STEM can have on Māori economic and community development.

Our programme is about building capability and understanding of the sector, international markets and creating unique relationships and experiences.

We offer a circular programme and will work with you prior, during and after your internship. You will then join our alumni with further opportunities to expand your personal and professional capabilities.
