Declara is a unique social learning platform for sharing knowledge, articles, and insights online. Declara indexes and analyzes content of any type, from anywhere, in one unified platform. Users can curate, annotate, provide context, share with their colleagues and teams, and collaborate inside of documents and videos. The resulting collective intelligence improves idea-flow and decision-making, inside and outside an organization.

The World Technology Summit Awards were presented by the World Technology Network (WTN), which is a curated membership community comprised of the world's most innovative individuals and organizations in science, technology, and related fields. The WTN and its members – those creating the 21st century – are focused on exploring what is imminent, possible, and important in and around emerging technologies.
