MBIE recognises the importance of working with the research, science and innovation sector and moving forward together with Te Ara Paerangi – Future Pathways system reforms.
This Reference Group was set up to represent a range of peak bodies and professional organisations within the sector, including business, industry and Māori science and research leaders. It supports MBIE to engage the right institutions and people, test ideas, choices, and trade-offs, and ensures MBIE has a good understanding of system-wide issues.
