Ambee powers 2nd consecutive Cannes Lions win with Allevia pollen passport

Environmental intelligence continues to drive award-winning health innovations

For the second consecutive year, Ambee's environmental intelligence has been recognized at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. 

Following the 2024 Silver Lion awarded to Allegra Airways, Ambee's data capabilities have now contributed to Allevia Pollen Passport's Bronze Lion win with innovative data visualization in 2025. Developed in collaboration with Opella (Sanofi), this innovative platform represents a significant advancement in allergy management solutions.

What is Allevia Pollen Passport?

As pollen levels surge 13% annually and climate change extends allergy seasons, travelers face unexpected allergen risks at their destinations. Allevia Pollen Passport solves this with simplified, actionable insights.

How it works: Data meets real-world impact

The platform transforms complex environmental data into stunning botanical visualizations where plant species show active pollen groups, and colors indicate air quality levels. Users input their destination and travel dates to get personalized forecasts covering 100+ countries and 70,000+ cities.

What makes it special is the precision: Ambee's sensors and algorithms deliver 1x1 kilometer accuracy, so travelers know exactly what allergens await. The platform even provides dynamic discounts up to 40% off Allevia products based on expected pollen severity.

This achievement demonstrates the power of cross-industry collaboration between Opella, MRM Spain, Weber Shandwick, CLEVERºFRANKE, and Ambee. Each team brought their expertise, and together we were able to create an innovative travel tool that pushes the boundaries of visualizing complex data.

Building on a Cannes-winning legacy of allergy-aware travel

Building on the success of Allegra Airways, which won a 2024 Silver Lion as the world's first allergy-aware travel tool and achieved 237 million impressions while optimizing over 325,000 travel routes in the U.S., this latest recognition further establishes Ambee's leadership in applying environmental intelligence to consumer health solutions.

Allevia Pollen Passport is the natural evolution from daily route planning to global travel confidence.

Why we won at Cannes Lions

The Cannes Lions jury selected Allevia Pollen Passport for its unique combination of scientific rigor, user-centric design, and scalable impact. The platform's success lies in its ability to transform Ambee's high-resolution environmental data into intuitive visualizations that address a pressing global health need with remarkable precision.

This recognition highlights an important industry shift: environmental data has evolved from being merely observational to becoming fully operational. As climate change continues to intensify health risks, organizations that leverage real-time, location-specific insights will lead the way in developing preventive healthcare solutions, personalized consumer experiences, and climate-resilient products.

Since launching in January 2025:

The power of environmental intelligence

Allevia Pollen Passport processes terabytes of environmental data daily using advanced sensors and machine learning to deliver 1x1 kilometer accuracy forecasts covering subspecies-level pollen breakdowns and real-time air quality monitoring.

As we celebrate these achievements, we're also looking ahead to continued innovation in environmental health technology. The success of both Allegra Airways and Allevia Pollen Passport demonstrates that environmental intelligence can power creative solutions that earn both industry recognition and genuine user love.

These platforms represent just the beginning of what's possible when precise environmental data meets creative problem-solving. As climate challenges evolve and health awareness grows, we're committed to developing tools that help people and brands navigate an increasingly complex environmental landscape.

What’s next for climate-aware innovation?

The recognition at Cannes Lions validates our approach, but the real measure of success lies in the millions of people who can now breathe easier, travel confidently, and live better thanks to the power of environmental intelligence.
