Our digital and data journey

MBIE is creating more reliable technological foundations and robust tools, to make it easy for people to work with and for us.

We are standardising our systems and investing in digital solutions that provide modern, flexible and responsive platforms to service New Zealand.

With advances in AI, particularly large language models, an increasing focus will be on how to integrate AI as a tool to improve the efficiency of MBIE’s activities. This will involve both the terms of how it can be used to enhance the services we provide and to support internal activities. AI and other new technology and tools will be integrated into our activities to boost productivity and quality of service, while still meeting legal requirements and protections relating to information security and privacy.

Our data insights are used to support delivery of people-centred services, the development and monitoring of government policy and our ability to measure our outcomes. We are continuing to grow our capability as an evidence-led organisation that enables people to access and use data confidently, monitor trends, and show how our activities are making a difference.
