Technology shapes how Minnesotans access essential government services — from childcare and healthcare to public safety, licensing, and regulatory oversight. In 2025, the Minnesota Technology Advisory Council (TAC) focused on strengthening the enterprise foundations required for effective, accountable government. Minnesota continued to lead in responsible artificial intelligence (AI) adoption by strengthening enterprise governance, shared standards, and workforce readiness. In response to an evolving threat landscape—including emerging risks such as quantum computing—and shifting federal support, the TAC prioritized a whole-of-state cybersecurity model. The TAC also emphasized the need for a coordinated, enterprise approach to data stewardship and sharing. Lastly, recognizing that human-centered services depend on strong product and agile practices, the TAC advanced recommendations to modernize procurement, funding models, leadership engagement, and workforce capacity—shifting government from project completion to sustained value delivery.
