Join us in celebrating the dedicated employees of MNIT during Public Service Recognition Week! This special time of year offers an opportunity to honor the remarkable talent and commitment of our team!

In 2024, MNIT has significant developments on the horizon thanks to our dedicated team. One notable initiative includes our support for the establishment of the Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF). This new agency will address the unique needs of Minnesota's children, youth, and families. By consolidating efforts previously dispersed across multiple agencies into a single specialized entity, we are poised for impactful outcomes.

Other key technology projects and initiatives include:

• The Transparent Artificial Intelligence Governance Alliance (TAIGA) has developed an approach to AI that allows innovation to happen at agencies with guardrails in place.
• The Public Land Survey System (PLSS) Monument Grants Program is distributing over $9 million to counties to restore, maintain and updates survey markers.
• The Whole-Of-State Cybersecurity Plan aims to unify Minnesota to protect our State and citizens from cyber threats. It has built new partnerships and new legislation on cyber reporting.
• The Technology Modernization Fund funds projects and efforts that will modernize, secure, and improve the customer experience of executive branch technology systems.
• The Department of Administration’s Enterprise Translation Office (ETO) uses AI to revolutionize how we deliver government services to all Minnesotans. With a focus on Spanish, Hmong, and Somali languages, the ETO also provides translation support for all other languages.
• Minnesota's Provider Hub, developed by the Department of Human Services (DHS) and supported by MNIT, simplifies childcare licensing with a digital platform accessible in multiple languages. It streamlines processes, reduces paperwork, and expands services, benefiting both providers and families.

These are just a couple of examples of the incredible work MNIT employees are doing in partnership with state agencies to make Minnesota the most innovative digital government for all. Whether MNIT staff are working behind the scenes or directly involved in this work, their contributions play a vital role in shaping the future of our state.
