Te Ahi Hangarau is the Māori name gifted to our Technology Hub. This name uses the word ‘Hangarau’, which is broadly applied to technology. ‘Ahi’ is fire.

Ahi is connected to creation – the idea of igniting ideation and innovation. Through offering students at the University of Auckland the opportunity to explore new technologies at Te Ahi Hangarau, we aim to ignite inspiration for problem-solving and help create tech-savvy and future-ready graduates.

The University of Auckland Business School is the first business school in New Zealand to enable its students to have access to 5G technology. The Business School developed the Te Ahi Hangarau Technology Hub in partnership with One NZ to provide students and staff access to cutting-edge technologies for educational and research purposes.

The Technology Hub is also activated through free extra-curricular and co-curricular workshops and equipment training, open to all students and staff of the University of Auckland, no matter what they are studying.
