Our focus is the marine flora & fauna and extraordinary growing environments along the coastline of Ng\u0101i Tahu\u2019s takiwa, which captures most of Te Waipounamu (the South Island), Rakiura (Stewart Island) and the sub-Antarctic islands.<\/span><\/p>\n

We will be at the forefront of efforts to preserve and enhance those environments, supporting iwi initiatives to remove invasive seaweed species, while selectively and carefully harvesting native species in a sustainable and ecologically sound way.<\/p>\n

We will utilize these materials to develop innovative culinary products, alternatives for petro-chemical based fertilisers to support regenerative farming, and novel dietary supplements that enhance well-being and support healthy ageing.<\/p>\n

We will explore opportunities to develop new low-impact forms of polyculture (multi-species aquaculture) in environmentally suitable areas with the support of mana whenua and local communities.<\/p>\n

We will do all of our mahi in consultation with Ng\u0101i Tahu\u2019s Runaka (marae-based communities), providing opportunities for capability development and ongoing employment to local Ng\u0101i Tahu.<\/p>\n

T\u0101 Tipene needs little introduction<\/p>\n

A former New Zealander of the Year and the holder of NZ\u2019s highest honor, the Order of NZ, he is one of Aotearoa\u2019s elder statesmen with few peers.<\/p>\n

T\u0101 Tipene made his reputation as the lead negotiator of Ng\u0101i Tahu\u2019s Treaty Settlement with the Crown, one that has stood the tribe in very good stead \u2013 providing it with the basis of its present strong economic standing.<\/p>\n

He was also known for his work on the M\u0101ori fisheries settlement, and influential role as the chairman of Te Ohu Kai Moana (the M\u0101ori Fisheries Commission) where he embellished his reputation with a dogged pursuit of Ng\u0101i Tahu and M\u0101ori rights.<\/p>\n

He has maintained a strong interest in our productive marine environments and secured unique rights for the tribe in its settlement. These rights provide Ng\u0101i Tahu and Whiore with an opportunity to be an early mover and take a strong position in the nascent Blue Economy.<\/p>\n

Graham earned his stripes first in academia as an economist and then business.<\/p>\n

He worked for the Asian Development Bank and taught at Sophia University in Japan before establishing Jatra Corporation, an early pioneer in forging trade links into Japan and Asia. This work was recognised by Lincoln University, which awarded Graham an honorary Doctor of Science in 2008.<\/p>\n

Graham is also a highly successful businessman, establishing Hi-Tech Foods which exported value-added food products to Japan and a very successful nursery in Christchurch.<\/p>\n

He is a founder of Whiore, which he believes can play an important part of Ng\u0101i Tahu\u2019s wider economic strategy as it moves into the post-Covid era.<\/p>\n

Legal costs incurred through the early stages of Ng\u0101i Tahu\u2019s negotiations with the Crown stripped the cupboards bare.<\/p>\n

Graham was asked to help and a relationship was established with the Yamada group of companies in Japan which resulted in an immediate fillip of the iwi coffers \u2013 and the establishment of a longstanding relationship between Tipene and Masashi Yamada. That survives to this day through the Yamada\/O\u2019Regan Educational Trust of which Graham is a Trustee.<\/p>\n

Supporting Whiore\u2019s leadership in the engine room is Alan Groves.<\/p>\n

Recognized for his efforts over more than 20 years to support innovation in virtually every facet of the M\u0101ori economy, Alan is also a serial entrepreneur, investor and innovator in his own right.<\/p>\n

He was recently a co-founder and the initial COO of CH4 Global, a company pioneering the development of methane inhibitors based on a seaweed (Asparagopsis Armata) native to NZ and in particular the coastlines, harbors and sheltered bays around Rakiura and Te Waipounamu.<\/p>\n

Alan has worked extensively in aquaculture focused on native fauna such as paua, oysters and greenshell mussels, and more recently seaweeds. He has also developed a range of nutraceuticals based on marine bio-actives derived from these and other endemic species.<\/p>\n

Alan, who has an MBA from Victoria University, is a trustee of Whenua M\u0101ori on Rakiura and in Murihiku and is a former trustee of Rakiura M\u0101ori Land Trust.<\/p>\n

Introduced from Japan, where it is known as wakame and is a prized staple of their diet, Undaria has become very well established along the southern coastline and is now the focus of an iwi-driven control programme.<\/p>\n

Whiore will identify uses for this material ranging from food products to soil conditioners\/plant growth stimulants and extracts for use in nutraceuticals.<\/p>\n

Whiore has landed a $250,000 grant from MBIE\u2019s Vision M\u0101tauranga Fund which will provide it with access to a 0.5 FTE at the Ferrier Institute for two years commencing June 2023.<\/p>\n

This secures Ferrier as the anchor science provider to Whiore and deepens bonds between the two entities, based on a professional relationship formed over 20 years ago between Ferrier\u2019s distinguished professor Richard Furneaux and Whiore CEO Alan Groves.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so pleasing to be able to lock the Ferrier in to such an important science leadership role for our company,\u201d Alan said. \u201cThe Ferrier has deep knowledge and world-leading expertise in carbohydrate chemistry and polysaccharides which are critical to our R&D programme going forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cRichard is an internationally recognised seaweed expert and one of NZ\u2019s leading Natural Product scientists. He has been a notable generator of IP over many years and his networks are legendary.\u201d<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Roboto||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.9em” min_height=”537.3px” custom_margin=”5px||-36px|||” custom_margin_tablet=”||||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”84px||-23px||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”||0px|||” custom_padding_tablet=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The two parties are now working on an even larger funding application, which would be a huge boon to Whiore \u2013 and exponentially broaden its business horizon.<\/p>\n

Whiore was also one of five aspiring tech companies to land a place on NZ Trade and Enterprise\u2019s Hatch programme.<\/p>\n

This provides access to mentoring services provided by Hatch, one of the world\u2019s leading Blue Economy and aquaculture consultancies.<\/p>\n

Alan is being mentored by Nitzan Unger, Hatch\u2019s seaweed expert based in Vienna.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is so good being able to speak to a Subject Matter Expert who can provide a truly globally perspective on our business prospects,\u201d he said. \u201cNitzan is extremely excited about Whiore\u2019s vision and mission, and its business potential. I\u2019ve already convinced him he needs to make a trip down here \u2013 if to be able to do nothing more than dive around Rakiura!\u201d<\/p>\n

We are pleased to welcome a long-standing friend, colleague and collaborator, Tait Wichman, to our technical advisory team.<\/p>\n

A highly accomplished engineer who has worked across many disciplines, Tait brings exceptional technical and technology problem-solving skills to the team. A graduate of Auckland University, he first earned a name for himself at Industrial Research Limited leading a talented team of research engineers in the development of innovative robotics and vision sensing technologies to automate tasks in the meat processing industry.<\/p>\n

In the commercial environment, Tait is an accomplished machinery designer and project manager for machinery design, certification and manufacture \u2013 including the development of manufacturing, production and quality control processes and systems.<\/p>\n

Over the past 10 years Tait has applied his research, engineering and advisory expertise to house-scale wastewater treatment systems and community wastewater infrastructure. A notable outcome has been a novel iwi-centric approach to the implementation of the wastewater treatment scheme servicing the communities of Rotoiti, Rotom\u0101 and Rotoehu.<\/p>\n

Tait is a company director and an Ahu Whenua trustee. He has New Zealand M\u0101ori, Cook Island and Tahitian heritage.<\/p>\n
