Our portfolio diversification strategy with Wageningen
Dr. Jouke Campen
• The only 100% Maori owned geothermal asset company in New Zealand
• 20% compound annual growth (10 years)
• Doubling production currently
• Food innovation a deliberate portfolio strategy
• $NZ500 million combined (with other tribes) balance sheet (large scale)

Who we are and what we want?
• $NZ37 billion (asset value) – cashed up and looking for investment
• 1.2 million hectares of available lands for food production
• After Government, Maori are the largest owner of natural forests in NZ
• Automation and robotics – bio economy
• Farm practices that minimize green house gases
• Foods and flavorings from NZ native plants (Manuka et)
• Scale-up of sustainable dairy by Maori landowners
• Wild catch seafood – by products for Nutraceuticals
• Land-based aquaculture
• Geothermal energy (large scale Greenhouse development)
• Renewable energy to power small Maori communities (solar, wind, hydro
and micro hydro, biofuel).
6. As Maori business, what do we want?
Global Strategic Technology Partners
• To partner with Feyecon, Wageningen University and other leading European food
innovators in food processing to:
– Lift the productivity of the Maori economy;
– Engage the 1.2 million hectares of under-utilized Maori lands;
– Reduce our carbon-footprint across our Maori food value-chains; and
– Create high-skilled and high-paying jobs for the more than 500,000 indigenous Maori people
• Existing food and other technologies (tech transfer)
– Greenhouse technologies
– Extend food freshness technologies
– Low CO2 food technologies
– Food bi-product technologies
– Renewable energy technologies for remote and small communities
• European food market (niche) connections
