Te Waka and EDNZ

We were born on 1 July 2018 and were tasked with making a difference for people in the Waikato region. We make that difference through action and impact-focused economic development.

On 30 August 2018 we announced our official name, Te Waka: Anga whakamua Waikato (Waikato moving forward). 

We strongly acknowledge all the work and research that enabled the birth of Te Waka, Waikato's regional economic development agency. There's been a lot of hard work invested by many good people and organisations and we’re proud to pick up the baton and become the front door of the region.
