2024 has been both an extraordinary and tumultuous year, with significant Geo political shifts globally, catastrophic weather events, and a political pendulum swing here in Aotearoa that has also created it’s own ripple effects for whānau, hapū and Iwi. Thank goodness we are heading into Raumati for some rest and recuperation, and for those who are avid followers of the Maramataka - time for planning, productivity and action. Ka nui ngā mihi ki a koutou te Whānau MEA. What a year!

Congratulations to our Director, Kaye-Maree Dunn, for her well-deserved recognition as a Kaiāwhina at the Te Hapori Matihiko Awards, honouring her dedication and contributions.

MEA, Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi and NZTech worked together to map the Māori technology sector. The benefit of this work is to provide a clear insight into the challenges, barriers and opportunities Māori are facing in 2023 and beyond and to understand what is needed for Māori to thrive in the technology sector.
