SWARM ENGINE and AVA win “AI-based AgTech Innovation of the Year” in the 2025 AgTech Breakthrough Awards
This is SWARM’s second AgTech Breakthrough win in a row, following “AI-based AgTech Solution of the Year” in 2024
IRVINE, Calif., August 21, 2025 – SWARM Engineering today announced that SWARM AVA and ENGINE have been selected as the winner of the “AI-based AgTech Innovation of the Year” award in the annual AgTech Breakthrough Awards program.
This is the second year in a row AgTech Breakthrough has recognized SWARM. In 2024, SWARM Engineering won “AI-based AgTech Solution of the Year.” The program attracts thousands of nominations from around the world.
AgTech Breakthrough recognizes companies, technologies, and products across the global agriculture and food technology markets. In its 2025 program announcement, AgTech Breakthrough said the award winners “represent the visionaries and disruptors solving agriculture’s most pressing challenges.”
What you can do with AVA and ENGINE
Agrifood operations rarely run inside one clean system. Your constraints change daily. Your teams still need to make decisions fast, and those decisions need to hold up in the real world.
SWARM AVA helps you discover and define the problem you actually need to solve. Teams use AVA to turn business questions into structured challenges by capturing goals, constraints, and the data that matters. AVA also helps you find gaps and discrepancies that slow down decisions.
SWARM ENGINE then runs the optimization needed to act on that challenge. ENGINE helps you evaluate scenarios, respect real constraints, and choose the best plan. Teams use it for decisions such as allocation, production planning, workforce planning, network optimization, and logistics planning.
Together, AVA and ENGINE help you move from “we think this is the issue” to “here is the best decision we can execute,” without forcing your team to become data scientists.
How SWARM approaches problem solving
SWARM builds around a Challenge Engineering approach. You start with the decision you need to make, then define the objective, the levers you can pull, and the constraints you cannot violate. Then you apply the right mix of AI and optimization to produce an answer your team can execute.
This approach matters in agrifood because reality changes. Supply shifts. Demand shifts. Capacity changes. Labor changes. Your decision system needs to adapt just as quickly.
Why this matters
When you operate at scale, small planning changes can ripple across your supply chain. Better decisions reduce waste, lower cost, and help your team spend less time fighting fires. This award recognizes practical innovation that supports those outcomes.
