The Kiwi Innovation Network (KiwiNet) is New Zealand’s network of public research organisations, working together to transform scientific discoveries into marketable products and services. MetOcean Solutions and the Defence Technology Agency were nominated for SurfZoneView, a software tool which helps safely plan nearshore operations such as landing vessels, personnel or supplies.

"We are very honoured to be part of the event," states Technical Director Dr David Johnson. "It is fantastic to see the real-word ingenuity and problem-solving displayed by participants, and the great examples of partnerships between research and industry, We value our collaboration with the Defence Technology Agency, and are proud to have worked with them to come up with solutions to make the New Zealand Defence Force safer."
