Ambee's tech helps Allegra Airways win big at Cannes Lions!

Allegra Airways, powered by Ambee, is the world’s first navigational tool for allergy sufferers. We’re proud to announce that on June 17th, it won a Silver Lion in the Health and Wellness category at the prestigious Cannes Lions Awards.

This amazing recognition not only highlights the creative impact of climate-powered tools but also their necessity. As climate change-induced health impacts become more apparent, solutions like Allegra Airways serve as a great example of how technology can be used for the betterment of human health.

What is Allegra Airways?

Allegra Airways is a tool built by Ambee and Sanofi for the anti-allergy drug Allegra. It helps users find the safest and healthiest routes for their outdoor activities. From point A to point B, users can find, share, and save routes with the lowest pollution and pollen exposure.

Alongside that, they can also see pollen and air quality forecasts on heat maps, all powered by Ambee’s advanced climate intelligence.

Our partnership with Sanofi began in September of 2023 when initial discussions around such a tool happened. In record time and collaboration with multiple international teams and agencies, we were able to present the pilot at UN Climate Week NYC 23.

On June 17th, Allegra Airways won a Silver Lion at the prestigious Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in the Health and Wellness category. This multi-national and multi-team effort was driven by the goal of helping people feel safe outdoors and breathe easy.
