Flashnet joins the conversation at the 2026 IPWEA New Zealand Public Works Forum

Flashnet is pleased to announce its participation at the 2026 New Zealand Public Works Forum. Organized by IPWEA NZ, the Forum brings together local government representatives, central agencies and industry leaders to explore practical solutions for resilient and sustainable infrastructure across Aotearoa New Zealand.
April 30, 2026
Hotel Pullman
Auckland, New Zealand
This year’s theme, “From Capability to Community: Leading the Future of Public Works,” reflects the evolving expectations placed on infrastructure owners and operators – to deliver not only technical excellence, but long-term value for communities.
Smart infrastructure, with a focus on community and local purpose
Across New Zealand, public works organizations are going through complex challenges: climate adaptation, infrastructure renewal, funding constraints and the need for equitable service delivery. The Forum’s programme, combining keynote presentations, technical sessions and real-world case studies, creates a platform for sharing applied knowledge and scalable solutions.
For Flashnet, this conversation aligns with our approach to smart infrastructure modernization. True digital transformation lies on building resilient systems that integrate with existing assets, respect local context and support measurable community outcomes.
A short presentation of Flashnet and inteliLIGHT
At the Forum, we will host a short presentation introducing our company and the inteliLIGHT® smart street lighting ecosystem.
Street lighting remains one of the most widespread and operationally significant public assets managed by municipalities. When modernized strategically, it can serve as a foundation for broader digital infrastructure.
The inteliLIGHT® solution is designed as an interoperable, infrastructure-agnostic platform that supports gradual deployment strategies. The platform enables local authorities to modernize at their own pace while protecting long-term investment and vendor independence.
Supporting resilient public works in Aotearoa
New Zealand’s focus on sustainability, cultural awareness and community resilience makes infrastructure decisions particularly important. Public works projects today are expected to create legacies that honour both people and place. By combining open standards, secure architectures and scalable deployment models, we aim to contribute to this broader objective, helping infrastructure owners translate technical capability into tangible community benefit.
We look forward to engaging with public works professionals, asset managers and infrastructure leaders in Auckland and to contributing to the dialogue on how today’s modernization efforts shape tomorrow’s communities.
