There is a significant growth story ahead for successful digital technology firms in Aotearoa New Zealand. Given our distance from markets, these companies are important because they are global from day one, have a lower environmental footprint on average, are not constrained physically so are scalable, and present a pathway to high paying jobs for more New Zealanders. These are some of the reasons for backing New Zealand’s digital technologies sector.
Equity, diversity and inclusion are important to create and sustain a fit-for-purpose research system. We need a system which has no barriers to entry, retention or advancement for women, Māori, Pacific Peoples and other under-represented communities. We want a system where these groups hold jobs proportional to their population share across institutions, role types and research areas.
This section provides an overview of the sector’s economic significance in New Zealand, highlighting its contribution to GDP and employment. Despite facing challenges like cost pressures and labour shortages, there’s a notable increase in Māori-owned construction businesses, reflecting growing diversity and opportunities within the industry.

A strong economy is essential to New Zealand’s prosperity. MBIE helps regions, businesses and communities to grow and diversify their opportunities. We work to ensure New Zealand is better placed to adapt to global shifts. This requires ongoing investment and adaptation.
