Egen recognized on the 2026 AI Innovators list by CRN®

Recognition highlights Egen’s technical expertise and ingenuity in helping organizations move AI into scaled production.

NAPERVILLE, Ill., Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Egen, a global AI-first technology services company, announced today that it has been named to the 2026 AI Innovators list by CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company.  

CRN’s inaugural AI Innovators list recognizes North American companies for overall excellence, technical acumen, and ingenuity in delivering AI-focused offerings to customers.

Selected by a panel of CRN editors, the 2026 AI Innovators honorees represent trusted advisors that demonstrate technical expertise, strategic vision, and outstanding ability to help customers solve complex challenges through practical AI use. 

As a Google Cloud Premier Partner, Egen’s team builds and runs the foundations that move AI from proof of concept into production: modern data platforms, AI agents, enterprise knowledge systems, governed workflows, and industry-specific applications.

“Putting AI to work should leave our customers more capable than we found them,” said Alim Somani, CEO of Egen. “We’ve spent years building and running the systems they depend on. That experience has shaped our view: Success with AI requires engineering the systems and redesigning the work together. We bring engineering and change enablement alongside our customers’ teams to rethink workflows, establish trust, and put AI to work in daily operations. We measure success in better outcomes and in our customers’ ability to keep improving. This recognition celebrates that work.”

Over the past year, Egen has advanced its AI-first strategy through new leadership and continued investment in how it builds and delivers. The company has developed accelerators that capture the knowledge, context, and delivery patterns accumulated through customer work, equipping its people and customers to accelerate time to value. Egen has also deepened its practice of embedding engineers alongside customer teams and launched its Agentic Change Enablement (ACE) Practice to help organizations reshape workflows, build adoption and trust, establish governance, and measure value.

Egen drives outcomes with AI across industries, including:

• Foundations for healthcare and scientific discovery: Building cloud, data, and AI platforms that support precision medicine, multimodal research, and drug discovery, providing the engineering foundations for organizations to develop and scale new capabilities.
• Room revenue in hospitality: Helping a global hospitality leader turn travel discovery into room bookings through an AI-powered search experience, with associated room revenue equal to 165 times the application’s token costs.
• Underwriting productivity in financial services: Helping a wholesale lender increase underwriting productivity by 133% through governed AI workflows that process hundreds of thousands of documents per day.

“Our 2026 AI Innovators honorees are helping shape the next generation of business transformation through the imaginative use of artificial intelligence,” said Jennifer Follett, Vice President, U.S. Content and Executive Editor at CRN, The Channel Company. “By delivering forward-thinking solutions that create value for their customers and technology partners alike, they are pushing the industry forward and setting a high standard for innovation. We are honored to recognize their contributions.”
