Technology that connects: We are delighted to have won the WiNa Award in the “Tech” category at Wirtschaftsnacht Rheinland 2025 (Rhineland Business Night 2025) – a wonderful motivation to keep going!

On November 5, 2025, the prestigious award from Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger Medien was presented at the MMC Studios in Ossendorf in the presence of 350 guests, including NRW Minister-President Hendrik Wüst. Among the three finalists was alangu in the “Tech” category, one of three award categories recognizing nominees for their forward-thinking ideas, bold implementation, and contribution to regional innovation.

Our mission: enabling digital inclusion for the Deaf community through AI-based sign language solutions. Whether on websites, in digital applications, or at events, we work every day to make communication barrier-free and inclusive. This is only possible thanks to a passionate and diverse team that combines expertise and creativity to explore new paths.

“Inclusion and innovation go hand in hand. This award belongs to our entire team and to everyone committed to creating an accessible digital future with us. Winning in the Tech category was truly a surprise. None of this would have been possible without our amazing team – thank you for your tireless dedication.”
– Alexander Stricker, Managing Director of alangu GmbH

The recognition by Wirtschaftsnacht Rheinland once again demonstrates that technological innovation can be not only efficient but also socially meaningful. We are proud to contribute to true digital inclusion through our work – and sincerely thank the jury for this honor!
