PALO IT is a global technology consultancy that crafts tech as a force for good. We design, develop and scale digital and sustainable products and services to unlock value across the triple bottom line:

people, planet, profit . We do the right thing, and we do it right. We're proud to be a

World Economic Forum New Champion

and a

B Corp-certified

company.

We are robust and resilient (100% independent and 0 debt)

We are entrepreneurs and passionate experts: we invest in what we genuinely believe in and work as a collective intelligence

We are positive, courageous, caring, doers, and committed to excellence

About Gen-e2 While the market is still largely AI-augmenting delivery, we have reinvented the SDLC to be

AI First . Our approach is a game-changer in productivity and quality, with strong collaboration between

generative AI

and our best talents:

We now generate

95%

of the entire product — code, documentation, infrastructure as code, and even design — with

GitHub Copilot .

Quality consistently exceeds the output of our best traditional engineering teams.

A product repository houses all product artefacts, giving AI full project context for higher-quality generation.

A library of rules and prompts defines coding standards, design principles, and security guidelines, ensuring enterprise-grade quality and scalability.

With

Gen-e2 , we deliver end-to-end products

2–3× faster

than traditional approaches, while raising the bar for engineering excellence.
