Māori hui
Māori already play an important role in Aotearoa New Zealand’s advanced manufacturing sector. The sector is the second-largest Māori employer (41,900 workers representing 12.7% of the Māori workforce). The 870 Māori-owned manufacturing businesses have the third-highest average operating margin of all Māori-owned businesses.
The ITP aims to identify opportunities for Māori workers, businesses, rangatahi and communities through the transformation of advanced manufacturing and to take steps to create more high-skilled and high-wage work opportunities for Māori and support Māori-owned and Māori-led advanced manufacturing businesses.
To date, Māori perspectives have been provided by Māori businesses, Māori workers and members of Te Puni Kōkiri across the ITP Steering and Working Groups. However, the impact ITP actions will have for Māori depends on how well the initiatives are targeted and delivered and continuing tāngata whenua input is essential.
A dedicated hui is being planned during the consultation period to further explore the opportunities for Māori in the transformation of advanced manufacturing including what successful ITP actions, and implementation with strong participation from Māori looks like.

Pasifika fono
Pasifika input is critical on the Draft ITP as the advanced manufacturing sector is the largest Pasifika employer (20,900 workers representing 15% of the Pasifika workforce). There are also approximately 130 Pasifika-owned advanced manufacturing businesses. A dedicated Pasifika fono is being planned with the purpose to identify opportunities and refine actions for Pasifika workers, businesses and communities through transformation of the advanced manufacturing sector.
