Welcome to the Cook Islands Diaspora Network
Wherever you are in the world, you are still part of home. This platform was created by the Business Trade and Investment Board (BTIB) to keep Cook Islanders living abroad connected to the opportunities, people of the Cook Islands.
How this platform came about
In April 2025, BTIB held the Cook Islands Diaspora Investment Promotion Expo across New Zealand and Australia. More than 230 of you joined us in 7 cities to share your ideas, hopes, and concerns about investing back home.
One message came through clearly: you wanted a reliable place to hear about opportunities in the Cook Islands, on time and in one place.
This platform is our response.
What you’ll find here
Investment and business opportunities: Updates on businesses for investment, sectors with growth potential, and how to get started, whether you plan to return home or invest from abroad.
Jobs in the private and public sector. If you do not wish to do invest or do business but are looking for job opportunities, we will have job vacancies listed.
Incentives and support: Information on government incentives, support services, and your rights under the Development Investment Act, so you know what’s available to you.
Cultural and creative opportunities: News on cultural products, artisan collaborations, exhibitions, and ways to connect with local vendors and creators.
News and updates: The latest business developments and announcements from the Cook Islands.
Stay connected
Updates posted here will also be shared on Cook Islands community Facebook pages, so you won’t miss anything. We’ll also keep in touch through newsletters and social media.
This platform belongs to our whole community, at home and abroad. We look forward to growing it with you.
Meitaki ma’ata,
Business Trade and Investment Board
