# Event Details - **Event Name**: Shaping the Future: Indigenous Perspectives in the Bioeconomy - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 30 Apr, 2026 at 12:00 pm – Thu, 30 Apr, 2026 at 01:30 pm (+12:00) - **Event Description**: Join us as we discuss how Indigenous perspectives are shaping the future of the bioeconomy in Aotearoa.About this EventThe Indigenous Bioeconomy is gaining increasing attention as Aotearoa New Zealand seeks to develop economic systems that are sustainable, resilient, and deeply connected to place. Grounded in Indigenous worldviews, this approach reframes the relationship between people, the environment, and economic activity, offering pathways that are both innovative and enduring.An Indigenous Bioeconomy places people, whenua, and whakapapa at its core. It recognises Indigenous rights, knowledge systems, and long-standing relationships with the natural world, while prioritising intergenerational wellbeing over short-term gain. In practice, this can include Indigenous-led initiatives across biotechnology, food and fibre systems, natural products, and ecosystem services—underpinned by values such as kaitiakitanga, reciprocity, and collective benefit. As pressures from climate change, biodiversity loss, and resource constraints intensify, this framework provides compelling alternatives and enhancements to conventional bioeconomy models.This session will explore how Indigenous knowledge, values, and governance approaches are shaping bio-based enterprises and influencing how natural resources are managed, valued, and regenerated. Professor Paora Tapsell will draw on his extensive experience at the intersection of Māori development, leadership, and innovation, highlighting how kaupapa Māori frameworks can guide bioeconomy initiatives that deliver cultural, environmental, social, and economic outcomes. A speaker from the Bioeconomy Science Institute (to be confirmed) will explore how science, policy, and industry can more effectively engage with and support Indigenous-led bioeconomy pathways.Join us for a timely and thought-provoking discussion on how Indigenous perspectives are shaping the future of the bioeconomy in Aotearoa, and what this means for researchers, industry, policymakers, and communities working towards a more sustainable and inclusive future.Thursday 30th April 202612.00pm-1.30pmMemorial Hall, Lincoln UniversityTimings1:00 – 1:10 pm | Welcome and introductions1:10 – 1:25 pm | Presentation 1 – Prof. Paora Tapsell, Lincoln University1:25 – 1:40 pm | Presentation 2 – TBC, Bioeconomy Science Institute Maiangi Taiao1:40 – 2:10 pm | Moderated discussion and audience Q&A2:10 – 2:30 pm | Networking - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/lincoln/shaping-the-future-indigenous-perspectives-in-the-bioeconomy/100001982846255527 - **Event Categories**: - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fshaping-the-future-indigenous-perspectives-in-the-bioeconomy-tickets-1982846255527 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: NZD ## Event venue details - **city**: Lincoln - **state**: CA - **country**: New Zealand - **location**: Lincoln University - **lat**: -43.64536249999999 - **long**: 172.4642252 - **full address**: Lincoln University, 85084 Ellesmere Junction Road, Lincoln, New Zealand ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: B.linc Innovation (https://allevents.in/org/blinc-innovation/22532580) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/fb8c65e3faab6c3e42c0efe334c48a5937a7d4e3a61d88bb6a9e6b79cf80e24a-rimg-w1200-h600-dc287b5d-gmir.jpg?v=1772354250 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/448c713606b4ff70118c1a0d64560943969e9811530d37bd0a1682cd78c4fb86-rimg-w400-h400-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1772354249 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening?
