Samoa Business Network

me now working for the Ministry for Pacific Peoples as a Business Partnerships & Development Manager and Rasmus Pereira, an Entrepreneur & Businessman as well as Tim Baice, Pacific Co-ordinator at the University of Auckland who played a pivotal part in formalising this group. The Samoa Business Network was created in order to provide a forum of support for small Samoan owned businesses in Aotearoa New Zealand; to provide them with strategic advice, guidance and support in the form of formal workshops, and informal network evenings. The Samoa Business Network Incorporated also presents a unique opportunity for Samoan Businesses to foster relationships with one another and other businesses through the exchange of ideas, collaboration, networking and training, most of which comes from the wealth of knowledge and experience of existing business owners who are already a part of the network. It is also our aim to become a centre for members within our Samoan Community, who wish to pursue their dreams in business, to help inspire, mentor and guide them along their journeys. Towards the end of 2019, the organisation was disestablished as an NGO. However, it still remains active & the work & vision continues under the management & umbrella of The Pacific Business Hub.
