Answer

I am advised New Zealand Trade and Enterprise has deployed Microsoft 365 Copilot (Microsoft) to all users to support workplace productivity, research and software development. The contract value is $325,000. The commissioning date was June–December 2025. I am also advised Invest NZ utilises the same software systems as New Zealand Trade and Enterprise, with costs allocated on a proportionate basis reflecting organisational scale and usage.
