Introduction

Hikurangi Bioactives Limited Partnership (HBLP) is a joint venture between Hikurangi Enterprises Limited, a charitable company, and New Zealand Nutraceuticals Limited, a private company.

HBLP exists to create economic opportunities for Māori communities in and around the Waiapū Valley. We work in partnership with the owners of natural resources, and return any profits to the limited partners.

HBLP has invested in a range of biotechnology projects with research organisations in Aotearoa, and has received funding from Callaghan Innovation, the Ministry for Primary Industries, and NIWA.

Utilising the bioactives in native species, HBLP is seeking to create natural health products and functional foods based on solid science and commercialised through a range of avenues.
