THE PARTNERSHIP
Our partners come from a diverse array of industries across the blue economy including aquaculture, biotech, blue-tech, fisheries, ocean energy, research, engineering and infrastructure.
In common is the shared understanding that a rising tide lifts all boats and that through collaboration there are outcomes that would be unattainable alone.

HOW MOANANUI PARTNERS CAN BENEFIT
- We act as a catalyst for our partners to find inspiration, resources and connections with like-minded businesses with similar ambitions.
- We provide a unique industry perspective and cross-sector knowledge to help our partners co-develop, ideate and problem-solve issues and opportunities. Our group-wide, higher-level perspective can unlock innovation and new opportunities not visible to individual members of the group.
- As well as being a focal point and connection into the global blue economy, our collective power and scale can generate access to opportunities our individual members wouldn’t otherwise get.
- We curate opportunities, facilitate access to events, delegations, and forums, and attract global interest, all with the goal to accelerate progress for partners.
- We can help access and connect specialist expertise for our partners, including funding and donors and other strategic alliances.
- We host delegations that attract potential collaborators – domestically and globally.
- We create events and forums that provide the opportunity for partners to showcase their businesses, the region and the blue economy.
