Syngenta: Driving AI adoption through hackathons

Syngenta's DevCon 2025 centered on artificial intelligence, with a hands-on global AI hackathon involving nearly 100 participants across 22 teams from various regions, aiming to transform operations through AI-driven solutions. The event emphasized learning AI infrastructure as much as building solutions, using Portkey as a unified AI gateway, enabling both technical and non-technical participants to access AI models like GPT-5 and AWS Bedrock seamlessly. Teams chose their own challenges, resulting in diverse projects ranging from grower-facing apps to DevOps automation, with prototypes presented to senior leadership. The hackathon demonstrated how structured experimentation can facilitate enterprise-scale AI adoption, balancing freedom and governance, fostering a culture of innovation, and providing valuable insights into AI usage and collaboration.
