In September 2022, Augment participated in the GEN X 2022 conference, held on the 8th and 9th in the greater Eastern region of France. GEN X, short for "Grand Est Numérique," is an annual conference that brings together innovation hubs from Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Eastern regions of France. Augment was honored to be invited as a guest speaker at this prestigious event, highlighting its commitment to leveraging technology for societal benefit.

The main theme of GEN X 2022 was "Tech for Good," focusing on how technological innovations can address critical social and environmental challenges. Rida Klink, representing Augment, delivered a keynote address on a project that involved digitizing parts of Beirut using drones. This initiative aimed to collect geographical data that could be used to deploy innovative solutions in crisis situations. Augment explained the process of scanning the city and the various applications of the data collected, demonstrating how technology can be harnessed for humanitarian and urban development purposes.

The conference provided an excellent platform for Augment to engage with other key players in the tech industry. Notably, Augment made valuable connections with representatives from the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST), paving the way for potential future collaborations. The event emphasized the importance of open data, particularly in geographical information systems and urban planning, areas where Augment's expertise and innovative approach can make a significant impact. The insights and connections gained from GEN X 2022 are expected to drive forward Augment's mission of integrating technology into solutions that enhance both efficiency and societal good.
