Thriving Entrepreneurs
To enhance creativity and innovation in Manukau, and see our people know and grow in their potential, Tukua supports creators, innovators and entrepreneurs to thrive!
​
It is an active community of innovators and entrepreneurs led by tikanga Maori and Pasifika values.
Fostering connections, peer support, knowledge sharing and instilling a growth mindset not only enhances the individual but also their whanau and community.
​
Tukua is a journey of education and growth that supports and encourages our people to overcome limitations and realise their dreams.
