Los Angeles, December 16, 2025 — Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive have named BlueCargo a 2025 Top Tech Startup, recognizing technology companies that are delivering measurable improvements across the supply chain and logistics industry.
The annual Top Tech Startup award highlights software and technology providers whose solutions address persistent operational and financial challenges in global supply chains. This year’s honorees reflect the industry’s growing focus on applied artificial intelligence, automation, and data-driven decision-making, particularly in areas where complexity and cost intersect.
BlueCargo was recognized for its work in freight audit and transportation spend management for international containerized shipments. The company’s platform helps importers, exporters, and logistics partners manage freight charges as a complete financial system, rather than as a series of isolated invoices or fees. By linking freight charges to how shipments move through the supply chain and applying AI to improve accuracy across fragmented data sources, BlueCargo enables teams to operate with greater consistency and confidence in their freight costs.
“We are honored to receive the ‘Tech Startup of the Year’ recognition from Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive,” said Alexandra Griffon, co-founder and CEO of BlueCargo. “This acknowledgment reflects the work our team has done over time to help shippers manage international transportation spend with clarity and control, in an environment where data fragmentation and cost volatility have become the norm.”
According to Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive, a majority of this year’s Top Tech Startup recipients identify as operating in the artificial intelligence category, underscoring the industry’s shift toward practical, operational applications of AI.
“The logistics industry faces ongoing challenges that affect efficiency, transparency, and cost,” said Marina Mayer, editor-in-chief of Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive. “Many of today’s startups are addressing these challenges with technology that is changing how supply chains operate. This award is designed to recognize those companies making a meaningful impact.”
As part of the 2025 Top Tech Startup program, two honorees will be selected to present at Manifest Las Vegas 2026, taking place February 9–11, 2026.
