June 16, 2022 - We are absolutely thrilled to share some exciting news with our esteemed Pylon community. Pylon has been honored with the prestigious Egypt's Entrepreneur Award for Technology & Innovation. This incredible achievement would not have been possible without the dedication and ingenuity of our co-founders, Ahmed Ashour and Omar Radi. Their visionary leadership and unwavering commitment to excellence have been the driving force behind Pylon's success. Their passion for improving the utilities sector in Egypt and beyond has been recognized and celebrated by the esteemed award.

The Egypt's Entrepreneur Awards, established in 2021, celebrate the brightest and most innovative minds across various industries in the country. The Technology & Innovation category, in particular, celebrates entrepreneurs who have revolutionized their respective fields through cutting-edge technology services that deliver tangible business value.

Our journey began with a vision to transform electricity and water companies in emerging markets through improved efficiency and a focus on sustainability. Our Smart Metering as a Service (SMasS) platform has been the cornerstone of our mission, democratizing smart grid infrastructure for distribution companies.

At Pylon, we recognize the significance of our responsibility towards the planet and the communities we serve. Our dedication to reducing CO2 emissions by 1 Gigaton by 2035 and conserving water resources is rooted in our belief that technology can be a powerful enabler of positive environmental change. With smart electricity grids reducing carbon emissions by up to 25% and our efforts to mitigate water losses in emerging markets, we are on a path to a greener, more sustainable future.

Pylon's success at the Egypt's Entrepreneur Awards is a testament to the collective effort of our team, partners, and customers who believe in our vision for a more efficient and sustainable future.
