Te Rōpū Pakihi supports the growth and development of Māori enterprise in the Kāpiti Coast and Horowhenua region.  The membership believes that it is the influence of kaupapa tuku iho that makes our businesses unique contributors to our communities. 

The Network meets regularly to tautoko each other in business and community; we hold functions throughout the year to whakawhanaungatanga amongst ourselves and with others; we celebrate Māori business through our awards programme.
