kanapu

Kanapu is a NPM initiative that was designed 'by Māori, for Māori' to ignite Māori talent and leadership in research, science and innovation (RSI) spaces. Kanapu means lightning. It sets the scene to strike at the obstacles that block Māori pathways and transform how Māori collaboratively engage through connecting Māori to Māori, retaining kaimahi and accelerating success. Haruru ana te ao – reverberation – is the consequence and transformation of the system-wide energy states across the RSI sector as Māori potential is enabled.
