akenza and ISS Switzerland win the Commercial Digital Excellence Award!

What if your building could talk? 

Last week, that question didn’t just turn heads. It took home a national award.

We’re proud that akenza and ISS Switzerland have won the Commercial Digital Excellence Award at the Digital Economy Award 2025, an initiative organized by swissICT to recognize outstanding digital innovation in Switzerland.

Buildings generate enormous amounts of data. The real challenge is making sense of it. 

That’s why we built Genio. It’s the AI assistant that transforms complex building data into clear, actionable insights. Genio redefines how organizations tap into their building intelligence. From on-site technicians to executive teams, everyone can make faster, smarter, and more sustainable decisions.

“Our goal with Genio has always been simple: turn complex building data into something people can actually use. Seeing this recognized on such a stage is incredibly rewarding.”

Simon Rieser, Co-CEO, VP Product akenza

This recognition celebrates digital innovations that push industries forward and highlights the growing impact of the AI capabilities already built into akenza. Winning the award highlights a simple truth: AI is no longer a nice-to-have in facility management. It’s the bridge between raw data and real-world impact. Together with ISS Switzerland, we’re showing what becomes possible when domain expertise meets powerful data intelligence:

• smarter energy use,

• lower CO2 emissions,

• greater operational efficiency, and

• a new benchmark for sustainable, high-performance buildings.

Roger Gygli, Head of Digital at ISS Switzerland, says, “This award shows what happens when creative minds from all areas come together and make things happen.”

André Nauer, CEO of ISS, says, “The Digital Economy Award is a major recognition for ISS Switzerland. It shows that innovation, customer focus, and sustainability are not just buzzwords for us, but values we live every day.”

This milestone reflects the dedication of our team, the trust of our partners, and our shared ambition to elevate the built environment through technology. 

We’re just getting started. 🚀

So, what would you and your building talk about?
