Our Vision

Pivot Innovation was founded to bring people together, support new ideas, and help turn visions into reality through education and technology.

We are working towards our vision with three basic pillars.

Connection

We connect people with a similar passion—those who are excited about building, creating, and problem-solving.

The Workshop is a space where individuals, businesses, and organizations can collaborate, share ideas, and support each other. We also work alongside local businesses and industry groups to strengthen Queenstown’s innovation community.

Education

We partner with local education providers to support hands-on learning and are working on developing online training content focused on product development.

Our goal is to make practical knowledge and industry insights accessible to more people, helping them turn ideas into reality

Inspiration

Being surrounded by people working on innovative projects is a powerful driver for success. To foster this, we host events that showcase local projects, sharing their stories to inspire and connect the community. Whether you're looking for fresh ideas or the motivation to start your own project, The Workshop is a place where creativity and ambition thrive.
