Connecting Māori & Industry to spectrum opportunities
 
Ko wai mātou | About us
For generations, Māori have championed their rights to the radio spectrum, achieving significant milestones that ensured the promotion and protection of Te Reo Māori. On the strength of this deep-rooted legacy that reaffirmed pre-existing rights, in 2022, the Crown recognised Māori interest in mobile spectrum – this led to the formation of Tū Ātea.
 
Overseen by a Board of Directors, Tū Ātea represents a critical intersection of technology, culture and social investment. With a mission to enrich the lives of Māori through technology, Tū Ātea is  building a robust, innovative, and profitable business, providing substantial benefits to the social and economic well-being of all New Zealanders. Their mission is to increase Māori participation in spectrum-related industries and the technology economy.
