Orbyz, a European platform founded by Caroline Gager-Palfy, prioritizes sustainability over fleeting trends. The platform emphasizes exchange, authentic narratives, shared objectives, and value-added tools. It distinguishes itself from platforms driven by vanity or follower counts.
Celebrating its first anniversary, Orbyz launches its iOS and Android apps, signaling Europe's capacity for digital innovation with a conscious approach. The social network connects individuals, businesses, organizations, research institutions, journalists, and public bodies. These entities collaborate on societal and ecological solutions.
Orbyz addresses topics such as green technologies, biodiversity, mobility transition, circular economy, education, equality, social justice, slow fashion, fair supply chains, and sustainable finance. The platform unites themes and individuals from over 20 countries. Orbyz aligns with the EU's Digital Services Act, setting new benchmarks for transparency, data protection, and ad-free usage.
The platform operates on subscription models with premium features for professionals and businesses, while the basic version remains free. Orbyz offers a unique navigator feature for personalizing feeds, empowering users to "be your own algorithm." The app also includes an event calendar, networking patches, and sustainability tools, exceeding standard social media functionalities.
An additional feature is the audio output of publications, enabling thematic classification and auditory consumption of texts. Founded in 2024 and independently financed, Orbyz is registered as an EU brand. It was developed in collaboration with experts in digital development and sustainability.
