The Government’s vision for New Zealand’s future RSI system is for it to make a greater impact on New Zealand’s productivity and wellbeing at a time when our country faces significant and growing challenges, such as adapting to a changing climate.
This Te Ara Paerangi – Future Pathways White Paper presents a high level vision for New Zealand’s public Research Science and Innovation (RSI) system, including key policy directions and actions, and provides a roadmap to implement the reform programme. It will function as an enduring policy reference point for the reform programme as detailed proposals are developed to deliver on the Te Ara Paerangi vision.
A strong and resilient economy is essential to the country’s long-term success and to helping weather global and national changes and natural disasters. Energy security and renewable energy sources provide better economic stability and ensure the nation’s autonomy. The strategic and responsible development of New Zealand’s natural resources enables economic growth and activity. Under this outcome, we also make important contributions to three pillars of Going For Growth (Pillar 2: Competitive business settings, Pillar 3: Promoting global trade and investment and Pillar 5: Infrastructure for growth).
