In a bold move that blends cutting-edge technology with urgent environmental action, Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GRRR) and O.N.E AMAZON have announced their participation in Climate Week NYC 2025, the world’s largest climate event. This partnership places the Amazon rainforest—the so-called lungs of the planet—at the center of a new conversation: how can technology and finance unite to protect one of Earth’s most vital ecosystems while also creating economic opportunity?
According to Newsfile Corp., the announcement, made on September 11, 2025, details how Gorilla Technology and O.N.E AMAZON will join an impressive roster of global leaders, policymakers, financiers, and industry partners. Their mission? To tackle the urgent challenge of safeguarding the Amazon biome, a region whose health is intimately tied to the fate of global climate stability.
During Climate Week NYC, Gorilla Technology and O.N.E AMAZON will participate in two pivotal in-person sessions in New York City. The first, scheduled for September 21, 2025, focuses on how tokenization and blockchain innovations can unlock sustainable financing for Amazon protection. This session places local communities at the heart of the solution, seeking to empower those most affected by deforestation and climate change. The second session, set for September 22, will showcase the transformative role of technology, cross-border partnerships, and transparent governance in safeguarding biodiversity, empowering Indigenous communities, and driving climate resilience.
These sessions are expected to draw a diverse group of stakeholders, including the Environmental Advisory Task Force to the White House, the Inter-American Development Bank, AECOM, NVIDIA, PSG Digital, ERC3643 Association, the Government of Mato Grosso, Panama’s Ministry of Environment, Goldman Sachs, and other global climate leaders. The gathering reflects a growing consensus that only through collaboration—across sectors, borders, and disciplines—can the Amazon’s future be secured.
Rodrigo Veloso, CEO of O.N.E AMAZON, summed up the gravity of the moment. “The Amazon is humanity’s inheritance and responsibility. It is not simply a forest; it is a living system that sustains the entire planet,” Veloso said, as reported by Newsfile Corp. “With partners like Gorilla, we are proving that technology and finance can serve a higher purpose. Blockchain, AI and crypto with purpose are instruments to protect nature, empower communities, and create an economy where the preservation of our world’s greatest natural asset is the true measure of wealth.”
Jay Chandan, Chairman & CEO of Gorilla Technology, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the Amazon’s foundational role in supporting life on Earth. “The Amazon, it is the foundation of life on Earth. Its rivers, trees and people are intertwined with the climate stability and future of humanity,” Chandan stated. “At ONE AMAZON, our mission is to transform protection into prosperity, aligning governments, investors and communities in a shared cause. With Gorilla’s technology and our commitment to purpose-driven finance, we are creating a model where natural capital is valued as highly as financial capital and where safeguarding the rainforest becomes the world’s most enterprising act of responsibility.”
The technological backbone of this initiative is robust. Dr. Rajesh Natarajan, Chief Technology Officer at Gorilla Technology, described the company’s role in deploying AI models at the edge, integrating satellite and sensor data, and building secure digital infrastructure. “Protecting the Amazon requires precision at scale. Our role is to deploy AI models at the edge, integrate satellite and sensor data and build secure digital infrastructure that delivers real-time transparency across millions of hectares,” Dr. Natarajan explained. “By combining computer vision, blockchain verification and advanced analytics, we provide governments, Indigenous communities and investors with the tools to detect threats, enforce accountability and measure impact with scientific rigour. Technology, in this context, is not abstract, it is the shield that safeguards biodiversity and ensures that economic development and human prosperity advance together.”
Gorilla Technology, headquartered in London, is no stranger to ambitious projects. The company is a global solution provider in security intelligence, network intelligence, business intelligence, and IoT technology. Its portfolio spans smart cities, government and public services, manufacturing, telecom, retail, transportation, healthcare, and education. By leveraging AI and deep learning technologies, Gorilla aims to revolutionize urban operations, bolster security, and enhance resilience. Its products range from intelligent video surveillance and facial recognition to edge computing and advanced cybersecurity—tools that, when applied to the Amazon, could provide unprecedented transparency and responsiveness in conservation efforts.
On the financial side, the O.N.E AMAZON Impact Fund (O.A.I.F.) represents a novel approach to conservation. According to the official announcement, the fund aims to transform Amazon conservation into a profitable investment opportunity by creating liquid markets for verified and voluntary ecosystem services. The goal is to reverse deforestation trends while generating competitive risk-adjusted returns for investors and equitable benefits for local communities. The fund supports a range of impactful initiatives, from reforestation projects to technological innovations like the Internet of Forests (IoF™), all designed to future-proof Amazon conservation.
The O.A.I.F. model addresses a critical need in conservation finance: a new asset class that offers both competitive returns and measurable environmental and social impact, while directly confronting the drivers of deforestation. The fund’s approach is to monetize biodiversity by tokenizing conservation areas, giving land a real financial value that can compete with the economic incentives of deforestation. Investments flow into clean energy, data-based services, ecological restoration, regenerative agriculture, biodiversity carbon watersheds, social credits, and data-backed research and development.
Climate Week NYC 2025 is shaping up to be a landmark event, not just for the scale of its ambition but for the diversity of its participants. The sessions featuring Gorilla Technology and O.N.E AMAZON are expected to last two hours each and will be held at high-profile locations in New York City. More information and registration details can be found on the Climate Week NYC website.
The announcement also comes with a note of caution. As is standard for publicly traded companies, Gorilla Technology’s press release includes forward-looking statements, reminding readers that while the potential is great, there are significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ from expectations, and most of these factors are outside the company’s control. Readers are advised not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.
Still, the momentum is undeniable. By bringing together technology, finance, and community engagement, Gorilla Technology and O.N.E AMAZON are attempting to chart a new path for conservation—one that treats the Amazon not just as a precious resource but as a living system whose protection is a shared global responsibility. The hope is that this model will inspire similar efforts around the world, proving that prosperity and preservation can go hand in hand when innovation is put to work for the planet’s most vulnerable landscapes.
As the world watches Climate Week NYC 2025 unfold, all eyes will be on these sessions—and on the future of the Amazon itself.
