Over 200 developers, engineers, and technology leaders participated in the event. Syngenta’s AI initiatives are focused on precision agriculture through satellite imagery analysis, predictive modeling for crop diseases and pest management, and intelligent irrigation systems that optimize water use.

At Syngenta, we are taking global innovations and adapting them to solve local challenges faced by Indian farmers—from climate resilience to post-harvest losses. Our teams are not just writing code; they are building solutions that help farmers feed the world more sustainably.”
