GTE- World Technology Awards: Innovation with Impact

In a world where technology evolves faster than ever, the real challenge lies not in creating new tools but in using them to create lasting change. At 1GEN, we’re driven by a simple yet powerful mission: harnessing technology as a force. And today, we’re thrilled to share a milestone that affirms this vision — 1GEN has been nominated for the World Technology Awards for the Best AI Tech Company, organized by the prestigious Golden Tree Awards (GTE) in Dubai.

What Are the Golden Tree Awards?

The Golden Tree Awards (GTE) are an internationally recognised platform that celebrates visionaries, change-makers, and organisations that lead with excellence across a wide range of sectors — from sustainability and education to innovation, entrepreneurship, and technology.

Held annually in Dubai, a global hub for innovation and ambition, the GTE honours those who are not just pushing boundaries but redefining industries and creating transformative societal impact. Their World Technology Awards category highlights groundbreaking solutions that are shaping the future of how we live, work, and connect.

Being nominated among global leaders and pioneers is a powerful validation of our commitment to tech-enabled social innovation.

A Global Recognition of Purpose-Driven Innovation

This nomination is more than an accolade — it is an acknowledgment of the values that drive 1GEN: innovation with empathy, equity, and impact. As a purpose-led innovation lab, we’ve always believed that the most powerful technology is that which serves the underserved.

From AI-powered platforms advancing gender equity to digital solutions that empower grassroots leaders, every initiative is rooted in our mission to create tech that matters — solutions aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Our Commitment: Building Tech That Changes Lives

What sets 1GEN apart is not just our use of technology, but how we use it:

 AI for Good: Ethical and responsible AI solutions that drive social progress. Inclusive Platforms: Tools that amplify voices from marginalised communities. Scalable Solutions: Digital ecosystems that grow with the needs of change-makers.

We’ve partnered with NGOs, social enterprises, and public institutions across the globe — turning complex challenges into opportunities for impact.

Why This Nomination Matters

In an industry often driven by trends and fast-paced disruption, this nomination reinforces our belief that innovation must be values-driven.

The GTE recognition spotlights our dedication to:

• Ethical design and development
• Tech-powered social transformation
• Global collaboration for inclusive progress

It’s a reminder that doing the right thing, the right way, resonates — and it’s being noticed on global stages.

Looking Ahead: Purpose Is Just the Beginning

This recognition by GTE inspires us to go further. We’re scaling new programs, deepening research in ethical AI, and co-creating solutions with the communities we serve.

As we grow, we remain grounded in one truth: technology must serve humanity, not the other way around.
