Ecorobotix Wins Avantgarde Award, Recognizing Excellence in Innovation

Ecorobotix has been awarded the 2024 Avantgarde Award by the Swiss-American Chamber of Commerce (Swiss AmCham) Southern California. This honor celebrates our dedication to advancing Swiss-American business relations through forward-looking innovation and impactful contributions to sustainable agriculture. After placing as a finalist last year, we are incredibly proud to have achieved first place in 2024.

The Avantgarde Award acknowledges the achievements of businesses, non-profits, and individuals who foster strong, innovative, and mutually beneficial connections between Switzerland and the United States. Ecorobotix was recognized for its contributions to cutting-edge agricultural technology, our commitment to environmental stewardship, and the positive impact we’ve generated within the industry. 

The rigorous selection process for this award includes evaluations by a distinguished jury composed of experts from Switzerland and the U.S., representing industry, academia, and government. This year, the jury included representatives from institutions such as the University of Southern California (USC) and ETH Zurich, who assessed submissions based on criteria like technological innovation, economic performance, job creation, and commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. The three finalists included Ecorobotix, HILTI, and Georg Fischer (GF). 

Our CBO, Claude Juriens, was honored to represent Ecorobotix at the Avantgarde Gala on November 8 at the California Club in Los Angeles, where our achievements in sustainability and circular economy practices were celebrated among distinguished peers and business leaders.

This recognition reinforces our commitment to fostering sustainable, impactful innovation that benefits both our customers and the broader Swiss-American business community. We extend our deepest gratitude to the Swiss-American Chamber of Commerce, the jury, and all those who continue to support our journey.
