Techweek19: Government & Businesses Working Better Together

A great opportunity for business owners to learn how they can save time and effort when accessing government services.

All businesses need to interact with government in a number of ways and it can be complicated and time consuming. Better for Business is a collaboration of 10 government agencies focussed on making significant improvements to the business experience with Government.

Come hear about some of the initiatives leveraging technology to transform the way government services are being designed for businesses and how they will be in the future:

- New Zealand Business Number (NZBN) and electronic invoicing (e-Invoicing)
The NZBN is a unique identifier that links to the information businesses are most often asked to share, so you can stop repeating the same details and spend more time growing your business. The NZBN enables transformational initiatives such as e-Invoicing.

- Business Connect is a cross-agency digital services platform that will allow businesses to interact with multiple government agencies from one place.

- Better rules – better outcomes is an initiative that re-examines the way we develop regulation to ensure it’s more easily implemented as part of government’s digital services – particularly for businesses. This is sometimes referred to as 'legislation as code'.

This is your chance to hear and talk with government experts who are committed to improving your business experience with public services.
