Win at Europe's Largest AI Hackathon

AG Solution's engineering team has earned first place in the "Best Use of Snowflake" category at RAISE YOUR HACK, the official hackathon of RAISE Summit 2025 in Paris. The achievement validates the company's technical expertise in front of judges from Meta, Groq, Snowflake, and other industry leaders.

The hackathon, held at the prestigious Carrousel du Louvre, brought together 6,000 participants across 900+ teams from around the world, making it Europe's largest AI competition. AG Solution's team competed over four intensive days to develop cutting-edge solutions using the latest AI technologies.

Recognition from Tech Industry Leaders

The win places AG Solution among an elite group of innovators recognized at the RAISE Summit, which has become the premier gathering for AI entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, and researchers. With over $150,000 in total prizes across multiple technology tracks, the competition attracted top talent from across the global AI community.

"The level of competition was extraordinary," said Juri Krivoruchko, who led AG Solution's hackathon team. "To earn recognition from companies like Meta and Snowflake among thousands of participants validates the innovative work our team produces."

The judging panel, comprising experts from the event's sponsor companies, evaluated solutions based on technical excellence, innovation, and real-world applicability. AG Solution's victory in the Snowflake track demonstrates the team's ability to leverage advanced data technologies for practical industrial applications.

The Innovation That Impressed Judges

AG Solution's winning solution tackled a complex challenge in industrial automation: creating an AI-powered system that automatically organizes scattered plant data and makes it accessible through natural language interfaces. The project showcased sophisticated integration of multiple AI technologies working together in a manufacturing context.

The team developed what they called an "On-Prem AI Unified Namespace for OT Automation"—a system that uses AI to read through existing plant documentation, identify asset relationships, and automatically map this context to live operational data streams. Operators can then interact with the system using conversational commands, asking questions or setting parameters in plain English.

What particularly caught the judges' attention was the solution's practical approach to AI deployment in industrial environments. The system operates completely air-gapped, ensuring sensitive manufacturing data never leaves the plant network—a critical requirement for many industrial applications.

"We wanted to demonstrate that AI doesn't have to be complex or cloud-dependent to be powerful," explained Krivoruchko. "Sometimes the most innovative approach is making advanced technology work within real-world constraints."

Strengthening AG Solution's Industry Position

This recognition reinforces AG Solution's reputation as a technical leader in manufacturing digitalization. Since 2007, the company has been helping global manufacturers navigate Industry 4.0 transformations, with clients including Cargill, Sika, Sanofi, and Danone.

The hackathon victory demonstrates the company's ability to rapidly prototype innovative solutions—a capability that directly benefits client projects. The same technical agility that impressed international judges enables AG Solution to develop practical AI applications for complex manufacturing environments.

"This win validates our approach to manufacturing AI," said the team. "We're not just talking about future possibilities—we're building working solutions that address real industrial challenges today."

Looking Forward

The hackathon's success adds to AG Solution's growing portfolio of AI innovations in manufacturing. As the company continues expanding its presence in global markets, recognition from industry leaders provides additional validation of its technical expertise and innovative approach.

For a company that has built its reputation on solving complex manufacturing challenges, earning recognition among the world's top AI talent represents both achievement and opportunity—proof that AG Solution's engineering team operates at the cutting edge of what's possible in industrial AI.
