It’s easy to get lost in the buzz around Artificial Intelligence. But after 28 years in the business, we’ve learned what cuts through the noise: AI that delivers real, measurable results.

That’s why Enlighten Designs is proud to put our name to the Outstanding AI Implementation Award at the Aotearoa AI Awards 2025.

This is more than just a sponsorship for us. It’s a commitment to our core belief: Pragmatic AI, Proven Results. We believe the best AI doesn’t just promise the world. It delivers tangible business outcomes. It’s about creating real value, not just headlines.

Getting AI to work in the real world is where the magic happens. It’s the moment an idea becomes a tool that genuinely transforms a business. We want to celebrate the organisations that have done the hard work— the ones who have moved past the theory and can show exactly how AI has improved their business, saved them money, or helped their teams succeed.

As active members of the AI Forum of New Zealand, we are passionate about helping our local AI community thrive. Sponsoring this award is our way of giving back, championing excellence, and shining a light on the incredible work happening right here in Aotearoa.

We are incredibly excited to see the award entries in this amazing category, which celebrates ‘AI in the wild’. It’s a unique opportunity to see how organisations have successfully taken artificial intelligence from a concept to a real-world solution that delivers clear business impact.

We look forward to celebrating the innovators who are leading Aotearoa’s AI future, one proven solution at a time.
