Ridery wins international award for Venezuela alert system

The Venezuelan mobility company Ridery received an international recognition at the Torchie Awards 2026 for a technology tool developed during the emergency caused by an earthquake in the country, according to the portal Banca y Negocios.

The award, won in the Braze for Impact Award category, recognizes initiatives that use technology and communication to generate impact in communities. The system was developed by Giovanna Anzola, a member of the company's team, who used artificial intelligence to connect real-time seismic data with message automation platforms.

According to information published by the outlet, the technology solution enabled the sending of 1.7 million notifications with emergency information and assistance to users during the contingency. The ecosystem also recorded more than 82,000 trips to rescue centers and hospitals, achieving a 20% reduction in trip cancellations.

As part of the international recognition obtained in Las Vegas, the company received a cash prize of 10,000 dollars, which will be donated in full to Fundaprocura, a Venezuelan organization dedicated to improving the quality of life of people with motor disabilities.
