Maori minds are getting together in Rotorua today, to talk business and wealth.

The one-day Te Ahurangi hui is seeing 200 people get together to talk about the future of the Maori economy, in and around the Bay of Plenty.

Bay of Plenty Regional Council chairman Doug Leeder says there are around 25 iwi in the region, many of them with new-found capital as they settle with the Crown.

"Collectively I think the wealth we're going to see across the sector in the next decade is going yo be quite substantial

Mr Leeder points to dairy exporter Miraka, and Ngai Tahu's business success as examples of what's possible.
