This might be interesting to some of you - @eduddy and are involved - the ones below have come from @Elena_Higgison
You may be aware that DIA is sponsoring two projects in this year’s Lightning Lab Govtech Accelerator – see info on these projects below. The projects are part of the design experiments informing the evidence base for the Digital Identity Transition Programme.
Weds 11th Sept 4.00pm is the first Meet & Experience event where you will hear from the all teams that are part of Govtech this year.
Please come along if you would like to meet our two project teams – RSVP here. They are four weeks into the accelerator process which is when they start consolidating what they have heard through customer interviews before moving into ideation.

Project Ira: Verifying Māori identity attributes
This joint project between the Department of Internal Affairs and Āhau NZ Ltd will explore the connection between digital identity concepts and elements of Te Ao Māori such as whakapapa and whenua. They will look at how new technology could support iwi, hapū, whānau and Māori organisations to achieve their aspirations, for example in proving who are and your whakapapa and how this could relate to whenua decision making.

Digital Consent
The current way people manage consent for others to access their information is usually with the tick of a box, at the end of a catch-all terms and conditions. This way of consenting can leave people feeling confused about what they’re agreeing to and ultimately that they are not in control of their personal information. The team from DIA, ACC and Middleware NZ will explore what approach people would prefer in order to give their informed consent to share their personal information.
