These are some of the reasons for backing New Zealand’s digital technologies sector.
This section covers areas where some preparatory work has been undertaken. These work areas have been identified as important to progress. However, further policy planning, development and/or dedicated funding are required to shape up work programmes in the future.
Consultation is now open on a draft Long-term Insights Briefing on ‘The future of business for Aotearoa New Zealand: An exploration of 2 trends influencing productivity and wellbeing – purpose-led business and use of blockchain technology’.
