This week, global business leaders, authors, and innovators gathered at London’s iconic Guildhall for the Thinkers50 London Summit & Awards Gala 2025, a premier event recognizing the world’s most influential thinkers shaping the future of business and leadership. Origina was proud to participate for the first time as a partner, sponsoring the Strategy Award, which recognizes bold, original thinking that reshapes how organizations grow, lead, and create value.
The 2025 Strategy Award was presented to Sangeet Paul Choudary, founder of Platformation Labs and a leading voice on platform strategy and digital ecosystems. His work explores how networked markets, AI-driven models, and platform dynamics transform competitive advantage and organizational design. His insights continue to influence global business strategy and innovation.
Thinkers50’s 2025 theme, “Regeneration,” challenges leaders to go beyond sustainability and create systems that restore, renew, and grow stronger over time. The event brought together thinkers and doers from around the world — from renowned universities such as Harvard and UCL to best-selling authors, journalists, and business leaders — all united by a shared goal of driving meaningful change.
At Origina, this message resonates deeply. Our mission to stop unnecessary technology change and extend the life of enterprise software is rooted in the same principle of regeneration, helping organizations reduce digital waste, strengthen resilience, and unlock value from the technology they already own. Like the regenerative leaders celebrated at Thinkers50, we believe progress happens when innovation and responsibility move in sync.
The Strategy Award honors thinkers whose ideas help organizations thrive amid complexity and change. These are ideas that challenge convention and empower leaders to make long-term, sustainable decisions. Origina’s sponsorship reflects our commitment to supporting those who inspire businesses to act differently, think strategically, and drive meaningful transformation.
As enterprises worldwide face mounting pressure to modernize responsibly, strategic insight has never been more critical. Congratulations to Sangeet Paul Choudary and all of this year’s honorees for their contributions to shaping a more regenerative, resilient, and equitable future for business and society.
