acolono: Bridging Sustainability, Open Source, and Drupal
Founded in 2015, acolono specializes in creating custom web solutions using Drupal. The agency places a strong emphasis on accessibility, responsiveness, and long-term maintainability in its projects.
For acolono, Open Source is not just a technical solution but a philosophy. It represents collaboration, innovation, and shared responsibility—values that align closely with the ethos of Kiss the Globe. By leveraging Drupal, acolono develops digital tools that are both innovative and environmentally conscious, reinforcing the agency’s belief that technology can be a driver of sustainability: “We want to work with our partners to shape a future in which technology and environmental protection go hand in hand. We look forward to the innovative ideas and exchange from all industries." - Christian Ziegler, CEO acolono
Expanding Drupal’s Reach Beyond the Tech Community
Through its involvement with Kiss the Globe, acolono seeks to introduce Drupal to audiences outside the traditional tech sphere. The company views this as an opportunity to demonstrate how Open Source technologies like Drupal can contribute to a sustainable and interconnected world.
“Our Open Source mission brought us into conversation with the initiator of Kiss the Globe, Dr. Stephanie Kail. We see technology and sustainability as partners in creating a better future,” explains Nico Grienauer, Co-Founder and CEO of acolono. “Drupal, as a CMS, is perfectly suited for building innovative and sustainable web solutions that have long-lasting impact.”
acolono is also on the Data Privacy Track for the upcoming new “Drupal CMS”, codename “Starshot” system, which aims to bring Drupal to an even broader user base.
