We are proud to announce that Interpine has been named a finalist in the Innovation & Technology category of the Tompkins Wake Rotorua Business Awards 2026. This category, sponsored by 2degrees, recognises organisations that are leveraging technology and innovation to create meaningful impact, solve complex challenges, and drive positive change.
Being recognised as a finalist is a significant achievement for our business, but more importantly, it is a reflection of the incredible people behind Interpine. Every innovation, project, product enhancement, client success, and breakthrough starts with the dedication, expertise, and passion of our team. From forestry consultants and software developers to drone pilots, GIS specialists, data scientists, remote sensing experts, and support staff, this recognition belongs to all of them.
Over the years, our team has built a reputation for combining practical industry knowledge with emerging technologies. Continuing to develop and deploy innovative solutions across forestry, natural resource management, environmental monitoring, geospatial analytics, artificial intelligence, LiDAR processing, satellite imagery, and drone-based data collection. These technologies help our clients make better decisions, improve efficiency, increase safety, and better understand the environments they manage.
Innovation is not just about creating new tools. It is about solving real-world problems and delivering value. Whether it is advancing forest inventory systems, developing AI-driven analytics, improving environmental monitoring capabilities, or making complex geospatial data more accessible, our focus remains on delivering practical solutions that have a measurable impact for our clients and communities.
This recognition also reflects the strong partnerships we have built with our clients, collaborators, and technology partners. Many of our most successful innovations have been shaped through close collaboration with organisations across New Zealand and beyond. Their trust, feedback, and willingness to embrace new approaches have helped us continue pushing the boundaries of what is possible.
As a Rotorua-based company, we are especially honoured to be recognised among a strong field of finalists from across the region. Rotorua has a vibrant business community with a growing reputation for innovation, entrepreneurship, and excellence. We are proud to contribute to that legacy and to represent the technology and science sectors alongside so many outstanding local businesses.
We would like to congratulate our fellow finalists in the Innovation & Technology category, Syrinx Environmental NZ Ltd and SetSeed, as well as all businesses, organisations, and individuals recognised across this year’s awards programme.
Most importantly, we would like to thank every member of the Interpine team. Your commitment to innovation, willingness to challenge the status quo, and dedication to delivering exceptional outcomes is what makes achievements like this possible. We are incredibly proud of what we have accomplished together and excited about what lies ahead.
We look forward to celebrating with Rotorua’s business community at the Awards Gala in October and continuing our mission of developing innovative solutions that create value for our clients, our industry, and our environment.
Thank you for being part of the Interpine journey. 💚
