Opening the Gates to the Future

Our Story

The idea of zenGate was born over 20 years ago as an idea for an enterprise that would serve as a spiritual successor to the technological revolution of the 90s. All the excitement, innovation and success of the online movement needed to evolve out of the dotcom bubble and into a sustainable, long-term endeavour to bring connectivity and freedom of information access to the mainstream. 

Fast forward 20 years. The birth of the blockchain movement was the catalyst that helped zenGate finally find its true purpose. To bring opportunity inclusion to MSMEs though decentralized blockchain technology, global connectivity and access to worldwide markets that were never possible before. 

Incorporated in Dublin, Ireland, an up and coming technology hub of the EU, zenGate is now poised to disrupt the commodities industry with the Palmyra Platform.
