Algorized, an AI-powered platform pioneering advanced people-sensing and positioning software platform, today announced that it has been named to Fast Company’s fourth annual Next Big Things in Tech list, honoring emerging technology that has a profound impact for industries—from education and sustainability to robotics and artificial intelligence.

This year, 138 technologies developed by established companies, startups, or research teams are featured for their potential to revolutionize the lives of consumers, businesses, and society overall. While not all technologies are available in the market yet, each is reaching key milestones to have a proven impact in the next five years. This is Algorized’s second nomination, following last year’s recognition in the Fast Company’s World Changing Ideas awards.

“It’s an honor to have Algorized’s innovations recognized by Fast Company,” said Natalya Lopareva, CEO of Algorized. “This recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team. We are developing an AI platform, built on sensor fusion and multi-sensor modalities, that can be seamlessly integrated with existing ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless sensor infrastructure. We’re excited to see our technology making such a profound impact on safety, efficiency, and human-machine interaction, ultimately benefiting society as a whole.”

“The Next Big Things in Tech provides a fascinating glimpse at near- and long-term technological breakthroughs across a variety of sectors,” says Brendan Vaughan, editor-in-chief of Fast Company. “Spanning everything from semiconductors to agricultural gene editing, the companies featured in this year’s list are tackling some of the world’s most pressing and vexing problems.”

CEO Natalya Lopareva led the evolution of the company from research at the University of Zurich (ZHAW), where a team spent months analyzing buildings, environments, and how children and adults breathe and move. The company has now formed strategic partnerships with chip manufacturers and conducted pilot programs in the automotive and industrial automation sectors.
