The Horowhenua Company Ltd (THCL) is the Economic Development Agency for Horowhenua
THCL says they are delighted to be holding the October Electra BA5 at Te Awahou Nieuwe Stroom in Foxton and are very pleased to welcome guest speaker Amber Taylor, a Co-Founder and CEO of ARA Journeys.
Ara Journeys is a mobile gaming company that blends the digital world with te taiao and te ao Māori. Inspired by and drawing on mātauranga Māori, ARA’s award-winning games use AR, MR, XR and AI to promote connection, education, and exploration.
Amber is curious about all emerging technologies with a particular interest in data, robots, and AI. “My talk will be about taking a grassroots company global. Ara Journeys is still 100 per cent Māori-owned. We haven’t raised capital or taken on investment. I’ll share some of the insights and lessons I’ve learnt along the way from past, present and future plans. I’ll also share the networks and resources I accessed to help us on our journey.”
Amber is a business mentor with NZ Business Mentor Association, Auckland Lead at SingularityU, Auckland Regional Ambassador for National Digital Forum (Ministry for Culture & Heritage), member of the Young Business Leaders Initiative with Ministry for Foreign Affairs & Trade, and NZ scout for USA Female Founded Club.
