Native to Native Business DevelopmenT Model
Te Arikinui Dame Te Atairangikaahu & Tumu te Heuheu
IDG first began doing business in Aotearoa (New Zealand) at the invitation of Te Arikinui Dame Te Atairangikaahu in May 2000. IDGʻs partnerships with Maori trusts are based on strong relationships between the Hawaiian and Maori peoples and our deeply shared cultural values. Our collaborative projects beautifully demonstrate how the Native to Native Business Development Model creates sustainable and equitable solutions for all.
Our Approach
In Aotearoa (New Zealand), IDG has been involved with several development projects in planning, consultation and development phases. Each project exemplifies the power of the IDG approach: shared profits, low environmental impact, cultural protections and long-term benefits to the host communities.
