Boxfish Robotics Joins New Zealand’s FernMark License Program

At Boxfish Robotics, our mission is simple yet powerful: to visualise the ocean for a sustainable future. To achieve that, we design and build world-class underwater vehicles right here in New Zealand.

Today, we’re proud to announce that our products are now officially licensed under the New Zealand’s FernMark License Program, the government’s official mark of trust that represents Kiwi innovation, authenticity, and world-class quality.

The FernMark is New Zealand’s official trademark, awarded only to companies that embody the nation’s values of integrity, guardianship of the environment, ingenuity, and global trust. For our customers, from marine scientists exploring fragile ecosystems to filmmakers capturing the deep ocean’s hidden stories, this accreditation provides confidence that Boxfish technology is genuinely New Zealand-made and globally recognised.

Just as FernMark reflects New Zealand’s values, it aligns seamlessly with our own:

• Integrity → Trust in results: Our systems deliver accurate data and imagery that you can rely on.
• Kaitiakitanga → Ocean sustainability: Every dive we support contributes to understanding and protecting fragile marine ecosystems.
• Innovation → Pioneering technology: From the only cinema grade ROVs to the tetherless map deployed and resident AUVs , we continually push boundaries to empower exploration.
• Global trust → Confidence worldwide: Boxfish technology has proven itself in the harshest conditions, from Antarctica to tropical reefs, now reinforced by New Zealand’s official mark of authenticity.

With FernMark recognition, Boxfish Robotics proudly carries New Zealand’s story to the world — delivering technology that empowers discovery, storytelling, and conservation, while supporting a sustainable future for our oceans.
