Te Ara Amiorangi is MBIE’s organisational strategy. Te Ara refers to a pathway, and Amiorangi refers to a celestial navigation point. It sets the direction, highlighting where we need to focus our efforts to achieve our vision – to Grow New Zealand for all. This year, we updated Te Ara Amiorangi to reflect our current priorities and way forward.
MBIE’s main responsibilities span 19 interconnected ministerial portfolios (with support for several more) across 3 funding areas (known as Votes).
At the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE), everything we do is about Growing New Zealand for all.
Foreword from Carolyn Tremain, Secretary for Business, Innovation and Employment and Chief Executive and other key information about the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.
We deliver and support many services that touch on the daily lives of New Zealanders.
We are strengthening access to official information by publishing responses to Departmental Official Information Act (OIA) requests of public interest.

Everything we do at MBIE is about growing New Zealand for all.
