Dalza, a Luxembourg-based platform that streamlines the coordination of care for children with learning challenges, disabilities or who are otherwise neurodivergent, was recently selected as Global Champion at the World Summit Awards (WSA) Global Conference that took place in India.
Dalza, officially nominated to represent Luxembourg, was selected from over 900 participants and 400 nominations from 105 countries around the globe. The WSA Global Congress attracted almost 200 participants from 60 countries and is described as the pre-eminent event for stakeholders involved in social impact. WSA selects and promotes local digital innovations aimed at improving society in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Agenda. It serves as an international platform showcasing how communication technologies can positively impact society.
Speaking to Chronicle.lu following his return from the WSA Ceremony, Robby Coelho, founder and CEO of Dalza, described the event as “the pre-eminent global competition for recognising leading best-practice solutions that tackle problems in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Having existed for 22 years, with over 182 participating countries, each country nominates leading local innovations, which are then assessed through a global competition and three selection rounds with different international juries of experts at each round,” Robby continued. “Dalza was one of Luxembourg’s official nominations and was selected as one of five winners in the Learning & Education Category, out of over 900 entries”. He recalled that, following a final pitching session at the WSA Global Congress in India, the Grand Jury selected Dalza as the Global Champion 2025 for Learning & Education.
Discussing the process leading up to this award and its significance, Robby Coelho said: “At Dalza, we have adopted a fresh and innovative approach to supporting children with learning and thinking differences and other disabilities. Through Dalza, we adopted a paradigm shift from the current status quo by creating a platform and app which breaks down the silos between parents, educators, professionals and caregivers, enabling true collaboration, communication, feedback and ongoing tracking”.
He elaborated: “By enabling everybody to work together and access all the latest information about the child, all in one place, a child is now able to receive truly personalised and holistic support. At the same time, we are empowering parents, putting them in control and enabling them to share the load of caring for their child. This award is not only a recognition of the real problem we are tackling, but also of our thought-leadership and innovation in transforming the support for children with learning and thinking difference and other disabilities”.
