Originating from the Takitimu waka on their discovery from Tahiti to Aotearoa this whakatauki personifies the innovative approach to achieving world changing outcomes.

Lightning Hub’s strength is the collaboration between tenants and their surrounding networks to create multi-facet deliverables benefiting all our communities. The innovative symbiosis approach allows businesses to make ripples that will be felt locally, nationally and internationally.

Lightning hub provides capability and capacity for businesses, entrepreneurs and organisations to build relationships, work collaboratively, share synergies and grow. Lightning Hub consists of a like-minded community of people and businesses who are driven to grow, change the world and get sh*t done.

Lightning Hub is a co-working shared space located in the business center of Whakatane, New Zealand. We offer a range of hot-desks, offices, memberships and value-add for local and visiting clients who require a high-performance, yet fun place to work. We provide high-speed global connectivity, seminar space and strong connection into regional business networks.

Lightning Hub provides a true one-stop-shop for business success, incorporating a dedicated Chartered Accountancy Firm (Ake Accounting), Business Development Firm (Ake Innovation) and IT/technology Firm (Ake Technology).

Our vision is to see a Lightning Hub in every major regional town in New Zealand - where innovation and community grow.
