• Economic prosperity
• Improved social outcomes
• Data-driven innovation
• Evidence-based decision-making

New types of data and bigger data provide opportunities for improved understanding of people, economies and

• societies. We can use these new insights to support

innovation, solve problems, and create benefits for individuals, communities, businesses, government and New Zealand as a whole.

A Data-Driven Future where New Zealand is a world leader in the use and sharing of data.

What’s in it for New Zealand?

By creating a trusted, transparent and balanced environment for data use and innovation, where privacy and trust are maintained.

New Zealand Data Futures Forum Charter

How do we get there?

We will establish a broad, balanced and open conversation about data use, now and in the future, working in a way which creates transparency, supports informed consent and enhances trust in government and business by

• Articulating possible data futures, exploring
• pportunities, benefits, risks and concerns
• Establishing foundations for a trusted,

transparent and balanced environment/ecosystem where New Zealanders collaborate to use data to create economic and social value

• Developing principles to guide access to and

use of data by the public and private sector

• Engaging with government, businesses,

researchers and the public.

What will the Data Futures Forum do?

We will

• Consider the needs and interests of

government, business, researchers and the public

• Engage directly with diverse groups and

external experts

• Run the forum in a way that is consistent with

how we see the future

• Provide free and frank advice.

Lessons learned

• NZDFF vision and principles have strong support across

varying stakeholders

• However, broader public engagement process needed
• Privacy protection and (increased) data transparency are

critical to success

• Every New Zealander should benefit from data use
• Education is critical, including senior government leaders
• Building capability amongst currently disadvantaged groups a

priority (e.g. Māori)

• Data interpretation of increasing importance for public policy:

multidisciplinary skills, including social sciences, are key

• Trusted, collaborative governance models (safe innovation

‘sandpits’) are critical

• ‘Just do it’: start innovating and learning

Ministers’ response

• Strong support for the NZDFF vision and principles
• Extension of the open government programme
• Review of all ‘information’ legislation and

amendment of the Privacy Act

• Establishment of a collective impact mechanism

‘NZ Data Futures Partnership’, an independent cross-sector group of influential people collaborating to drive high-trust and high-value data use for all New Zealanders
