Collaboration, impact, innovation and value will take centre stage at the 2026 ACE Awards Gala – we’re looking forward to celebrating with you all!
The refreshed programme marks a new era for the ACE Awards, celebrating the engineering consultancies and individuals who are shaping better outcomes for clients and communities across Aotearoa.
This year’s finalists highlight the extraordinary contribution that engineering consultants make every day. Across every category we’re seeing examples of engineering consultants challenging conventional thinking, building stronger partnerships, advancing sustainability and helping clients navigate increasingly complex decisions.
