Mātauranga Māori & Indigenous Innovation

For Māori, responsible AI is critically important to the sustainable development of the Māori economy, with wide-ranging benefits for the whole of NZ.

Strategic Partnership

RAISE partners with Hiringa Te Mahara, a Māori research team whose expert collaboration spans global indigenous communities, and Te Matarau a Māui, a network of Māori businesses keen to test and trial AI.

These networks would help RAISE connect with iwi/hapū authorities, tribal NGOs, and Māori academics across Aotearoa.

Indigenous Economic Opportunities

We aim to partner with Vision Mātauranga experts to develop tools grounded in te ao Māori and create high-value Indigenous economic opportunities.
