Adroit Commercial Director, Blair Stewart said that the partnership allows the company to scale up rapidly to meet the
growing demand for environmental measurement and reporting.
“A wave of new legislation, combined with increased consumer expectations is driving a surge in interest by businesses
of all sizes,” says Stewart.
“Climate change, environmental protection and sustainability are significant global issues and IoT technology is key to
identifying the problems and providing solutions.
“Spark NZ and Adroit have partnered to make this essential technology easily accessible for businesses, councils,
community groups and other organisations across New Zealand,” he said.
