Avalo selected among promising AI-driven start-ups

14/07/2025
Crop optimisation company Avalo has been selected to take part in an AI- and cloud-based innovation programme that will allow it to pursue its research into cotton, sugarcane and rubber. The company based in Durham, North Carolina, is one of 23 start-ups that will take part in the 2025 Compute for Climate Fellowship, a programme created by the International Research Centre on Artificial Intelligence (IRCAI), which is part of UNESC0, and Amazon Web Services (AWS). 

“Biology is built on networks – genes, tissues, and organs all interacting with each other to form a complex whole. This is exactly the type of mathematical framework that machine learning excels at, but biology is orders of magnitude more complex than other data types and requires much more computing power to disentangle. The Compute for Climate Fellowship gives us this computing power on demand to be able to understand and unlock the resilient traits hidden inside of plant genomes,” commented Mariano Alvarez, Avalo chief science officer. 

Other innovative start-ups selected for the mentoring programme include: SXD, a US company specialising in zero-waste pattern-designs for apparel; advanced traceability platform Muir AI, also based in the US, and several start-ups seeking to accelerate the development of next gen materials using AI-powered tools such as Cusp AI (UK) and Matnex (also UK).
