2023 is a tough year for businesses in New Zealand.

Higher costs of inputs, tight jobs market, slower spending, higher interest rates and general economic uncertainty have meant that many businesses are tightening their belts, putting a hold on new hires and being cautious with new spend.

But at the same time, transformation is accelerating. Most NZ businesses are looking to exit the economic slowdown as leaner, faster, more productive businesses. They are using the current conditions as an opportunity to become the digital business they need to be.

Ecosystm research finds that in New Zealand:

• Digital Transformation is far and away the top business priority – with 47% of organisations listing it as number one in 2023
• Despite tighter economic conditions, many tech investments are still increasing, with more project and program work across the board – automation activities are increasing in 44% of businesses, resiliency programs in 47%, and CX programs are seeing increased activity and spend in 53% of NZ organisations
