VANCOUVER, BC , CANADA, October 26, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In October 2025, the Global Fred Award & Certification (GFA &GFC), headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, officially announced the winners of the GFA–Remarkable Innovation Award. Awesomic and Reflect Orbital from the United States, along with Terp 360 from Kenya, were selected for their groundbreaking contributions in technological application, social impact, and industry transformation.

The judging committee stated that although these three companies operate in different sectors and markets, they all embody the core philosophy of “innovation drives change, value leads the future.” Their achievements excel in innovation, societal influence, and implementation effectiveness, fully meeting the award’s rigorous standards, which aim to recognize innovation practices that deliver both technical breakthroughs and real-world value.

Awesomic, a U.S.-based enterprise, reconstructed the creative services ecosystem through an AI-driven model that fundamentally solves the long-standing issue of supply-demand mismatch in the design industry. Traditionally, designers face challenges in client acquisition, pricing negotiations, and delayed payments, while tech startups struggle to find the right creative talent quickly. Awesomic has developed an AI matching algorithm that connects top-tier design professionals with quality clients through an efficient, intelligent platform. Its core innovation lies in combining precision matching with full-process guarantees—selecting only the top 1% of global designers through a transparent evaluation system, then matching them automatically to projects based on skill, industry experience, and stylistic preferences. To ease concerns on both sides, the platform introduced fixed monthly pay, flexible hours, and paid leave for designers, while offering clients 24-hour design updates and one-click talent rematching. As of 2025, Awesomic has brought together over 170 designers worldwide, completed over 10,000 design projects, and served numerous tech startups across Europe and North America. For instance, one AI startup built its entire brand identity in just 8 days through Awesomic—five times faster than traditional methods—proving the commercial value of the model. The jury praised Awesomic for reshaping industry norms with technology, enhancing both human talent value and business efficiency, and serving as a model for digital transformation in the creative sector.

Kenya’s Terp 360 centered its mission on “technology for good,” building an AI sign language translation system that bridges communication for the Deaf and hard-of-hearing. In response to the communication barriers faced by the global Deaf community, the company co-developed a real-time voice-to-sign avatar system with more than 2,000 Deaf users. The system achieves two core technical breakthroughs: accuracy—through deep learning and natural language processing to achieve professional-level translation quality; and adaptability—supporting multi-language voice input and local sign language variants to overcome localization challenges. This system has already been implemented in education and public services. In over 120 schools in Kenya, Deaf students use classroom projection of the AI sign avatar to follow lessons, increasing class engagement by 65%. In Nairobi’s government halls and hospitals, Deaf citizens use the system to communicate smoothly with staff, cutting service wait times by 60%. To date, the system has served over 500,000 Deaf individuals across Africa with a 92% satisfaction rate and is expanding into Tanzania and Uganda. The judges emphasized that Terp 360 not only filled a regional technology gap but also gave true meaning to inclusive technology through local practice—perfectly aligning with the award’s emphasis on social responsibility.

Reflect Orbital, a U.S. startup, is pioneering a new frontier in clean energy through its space-based solar technology. Confronting the limitations of ground-based solar due to weather and day-night cycles, the company proposed a revolutionary solution: space sunlight delivery. By deploying giant satellite reflectors made of lightweight polyester film in low Earth orbit, the company aims to redirect sunlight to targeted ground areas, enabling 24-hour clean energy access. Its key innovations span three areas: First, the use of 33 ft × 33 ft Mylar reflectors with 92% reflectivity while keeping individual satellite weight at just 35 lbs—drastically cutting launch costs. Second, the development of an advanced attitude control system to keep the light beam aligned with ground targets. Third, environmental commitment via narrowband illumination and post-mission orbital cleanup promises. The company has successfully completed high-altitude balloon tests and plans to launch its first experimental satellite, EARENDIL-1, in 2026, backed by a $1.25 million U.S. Air Force SBIR contract. Once fully deployed, the system could increase annual solar power output by 35%, offering stable energy for polar expeditions, disaster recovery, and other specialized scenarios. The committee commented that Reflect Orbital has extended innovation beyond Earth’s boundaries and demonstrated tremendous potential to address global energy challenges—meeting the award’s standards for forward-thinking and transformative breakthroughs.

A spokesperson from Global Fred Award & Certification stated: “These three companies demonstrate the diverse possibilities of innovation—Awesomic revitalizes an industry through business model innovation, Terp 360 promotes social equity through inclusive technology, and Reflect Orbital expands the future through cutting-edge exploration.”

According to official sources, the winning cases will be added to the Global Fred Innovation Case Library and shared through the organization’s international network spanning over 60 countries. The announcement of these awards is not only global recognition of the three enterprises' achievements but also a powerful message: true innovation must balance commercial value and social impact.
