INNOV8HQ is a brand that offers the Mana Rangatahi youth tribe and program, focused on inspiring a mindset for youth considering entrepreneurship in Otāpoti. The brand provides a fully facilitated program and also offers an app that allows individuals to work at their own pace and in their own space. The Mana Rangatahi program is a youth leadership and entrepreneurship initiative that applies bicultural practice, critical thinking, and resilience-based activities for youth aged between 18-24 years.

It aims to develop life skills, align them with career ambitions, and create a highly skilled and ambitious workforce. Participants in the program have the opportunity to unlock their cultural identity, fears, ambitions, and capabilities through the unique Ko wai au? framework. They can co-design their personal brand/identity and choose from four pathways: being your own boss, being career ready, being curious to learn more, or becoming a global youth leader and ambassador.

INNOV8HQ's network of Mana Rangatahi aims to become a national role model for youth success outcomes, supported by collaborative relationships and initiatives with community organizations and business leaders. The program is delivered through micro sessions, both in person and online, where participants are exposed to real-world experiences. Partnerships with Mana Rangatahi offer advantages for youth organizations and education providers, including increased student acquisition and retention, accelerated pathway development for employment, and enhanced experiences and outcomes for youth through collaborative associations.
