Te Ōhaka is the home of high-growth startups in Christchurch. It is a partnership founded by Ara Institute of Canterbury and Ministry of Awesome and fuelled by our lead partners, EY Wynn Williams, Stuff, and ChristchurchNZ.
Te Ōhaka is the innovation space for startups who think bold. It’s where the high growth start-up community lives and where members collaborate, emulate and press accelerate. There are currently 19 startups growing their ventures at Te Ōhaka alongside Ministry of Awesome’s business incubation team with continual support and assistance from our partners and the wider New Zealand innovation ecosystem.
This is a city resource dedicated to the growth and success of all parties involved in Christchurch and Canterbury’s startup and innovation ecosystem. All are welcome!
Te Ōhaka is located in Ara’s high profile Kahukura building on Moorhouse Avenue and is currently taking applications from startups and innovators with bold ambition.
