HPCE Aotearoa is proud to continue our enduring partnership with FOMA, a relationship built over several years and grounded in shared values of manaakitanga, kotahitanga, and whakapapa to those we serve. Together, we are committed to creating spaces where Māori enterprise can thrive, Māori leadership can shine, and Māori economic futures can be shaped with clarity and confidence. The FOMA Business Summit remains a landmark gathering within the Māori business landscape - a whare kōrero where influential Māori leaders, government decision-makers, industry partners, and sector specialists come together. Guided by principles of tino rangatiratanga and kaitiakitanga, the Summit strengthens partnerships and supports the sustainable growth and sound stewardship of Ahuwhenua and Māori enterprise.

More than an event, it is a celebration of collective vision, resilience, and the pursuit of intergenerational prosperity for Māori communities.

HPCE Aotearoa looks forward to continuing this mahi alongside FOMA as we support the delivery of the Summit in 2026 and beyond.

Te Ara Whakamua began as a response to the IWD 2025 call to accelerate action - a reminder that while the world is full of urgent causes, it can feel overwhelming to know where to start. This movement was created to cut through that noise, helping people recognise the small, everyday actions that - when taken together - create powerful collective change.

In August 2026, Te Ara Whakamua becomes a national roadshow, taking this kaupapa on the road to inspire and uplift communities across Aotearoa. Each event is an invitation to step into courage, strengthen connection, and ignite change - not through grand gestures, but through the consistent, meaningful choices we make every day.

Attendees leave with renewed clarity, practical pathways forward, and a sense of belonging to something bigger than themselves. Te Ara Whakamua is not just an event series - it’s a catalyst for empowered action and a movement toward a better future, together.
