With Jobs for Nature funding due to close this year, funded organisations will need to adapt their operating and financial models in order to become financially resilient and sustainable in the long term. The Ministry for the Environment are supportive of organisations utilising their funding on transition planning. Ākina is an approved Jobs for Nature supplier. 

If your business exists to create positive outcomes in people’s lives or for the environment AND you have plans to seek investment, the Ākina Impact Investment Readiness Programme is for you. We would like to invite anyone that is unsure whether this programme is right for them, to check out our FAQ's and attend this info session.

Regeneration is an approach that goes beyond sustainability and aims to restore, renew, and revitalise ecosystems and communities. In this event, we’ll hear from a diverse panel of entrepreneurs and social innovators about what regeneration means to them and how they are integrating regenerative practices into their businesses.

The transition to a Regenerative Aotearoa New Zealand requires us to view the economic system in a different way. Panel moderator, Ākina Chief Executive, Nicola Nation will be joined by Te Pūoho Katene, Ben Kepes, Raf Manji and Katherine Snook in a panel conversation, where we will explore what is required to shift the dial towards a Regenerative Economy?
