We believe that everyone is deserved of the same respect. No matter where we’re from, who we choose to love, who we identify as, or the challenges we experience, we embrace diversity and are inclusive of all.
TK is about people, community and collaboration.
The Kollective - TK is New Zealand's largest co-working space dedicated to social impact.
We're here to encourage connection and collaboration that leads to success for not for profit, social enterprise and charitable organisations.
We're about working together in areas that afford and create mutual benefit. We're about understanding each other and taking the time to explore where collaborative opporunity might lie. We're about imagining something better, something that makes a better world and the knowledge that if we think about 'we', instead of 'me', well that's where the cool stuff happens.
TK has 3 big picture goals
To create and enable collaborative practice opportunity among member organisations, particularly those that benefit our aims around social impact and societal improvement.

The Kollective / TK - Founded by TECT
Today, The Kollective, or TK for short, is a co-working community providing an administrative work-home along with meeting and connection spaces, all designed to foster connection and collaboration.
TK’s aim is to enable positive change and social impact that contributes to a region we all proudly call home.
TK’s journey though, started way back in 2014 when TECT first developed the idea after strong feedback from the community who saw value in a co-working facility.
Through indepth research, TECT found that co-working spaces could not only provide cost savings through shared resources, but more importantly, deliver a space where people could be inspired through knowledge gained by working closely with others. Long and short, dividing the costs and multiplying the benefits.
TK was brought to life with the physical build completing in 2018. Since then, TK’s co-working community has blossomed and now boasts over 250 members.
TECT provides support for local initiatives, facilities and events that bring vibrancy and connectedness to our region. It’s funding process brings life to grassroots organisations and large-scale multi-million-dollar projects alike. At TECT, we’re deeply proud that TK is one of those projects - an impact investment that is changing our part of the world for the better, one meeting, conversation and collaboration at a time.
Kind TK is about the greater good, social impact and knowing that together we can make a difference.
CollabCollaboration is our core. We believe that by helping each other, we're really helping our clients.
