Allaoui wins the »digitalPIONEER2021« award 2021

09/06/2021
Allaoui Graphic Machinery GmbH (AGM) was awarded as digitalPIONEER in the DigitalChurch Aachen on 09.06.2021. For the third year in a row, the focus group Region Aachen of the digitalHUB Aachen e.V. has been awarding the "digitalPIONEER" distinction.

The digitalPIONEER award aims to honor companies and startups in the region of Aachen that face the challenges of our time with digital solutions and creative approaches. The digital pioneers drive the topic of digitalization in their fields and serve as role models to sensitize and motivate other companies for the topic. The AGM team is excited about the award and hopes to create collaborations with more SMEs and startups in the field of digitalization.

Sven Pennings, spokesperson for the Aachen Region Focus Group, congratulated the digital pioneers and emphasized the importance of the award as follows: "Digitalization is the game changer par excellence. The pandemic has shown where we are already particularly well positioned, but it also mercilessly highlighted our weaknesses. It is therefore all the more important that we set out to develop further - and for this we also need pioneers from time to time: companies and people who lead the way, act as role models and thus create images in our heads that give us courage."

CEO Ammar Allaoui describes what makes AGM a digitalPIONEER as follows:
"At Allaoui, we use the digital transformation to rethink the trade of industrial goods. We organize the global machinery data and make it accessible and usable for the industry. By means of Big Data and AI-supported analysis of usage- or life-cycles, we manage to keep consumed resources in the cycle more sustainably and in line with demand. In this way, we contribute to the transformation from a linear to a circular economy. Digitalization is a mindset for us; we live and love it."

The announcement and award ceremony took place at the annual summit of the Digitalization Industry, the digitalSUMMIT 2021 in Aachen, Germany. Under the slogan "CoOperate or die: Together into a successful future", the digitalHUB brought together experts from business and science. Keynote speaker was philosopher and bestselling author Richard David Precht.
Due to the ongoing Covid 19 restrictions, the Summit took place in hybrid form this year: While the entire stage program took place in the digitalChurch in Aachen, more than 1000 people joined in via live stream and actively participate. While the entire Allaoui team was online, Ammar Allaoui was able to accept the award on site.
