Sharper Shape Wins 2025 Data Visualization Solution of the Year Award from AI Breakthrough

Sharper Shape, a global leader in utility asset intelligence and grid resiliency software, has been named the winner of the Data Visualization Solution of the Year award in the 2025 AI Breakthrough Awards. The award, presented by AI Breakthrough Awards, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes top companies, technologies, and products in the global artificial intelligence industry, highlights Sharper Shape’s innovation in transforming raw utility data into visual, actionable insights through its Living Digital Twin (LDT) technology.

The AI Breakthrough Awards program is renowned for evaluating the most promising AI companies from around the world, with more than 5,000 nominations submitted this year alone. Winners are selected by a panel of industry experts based on innovation, performance, ease of use, functionality, and impact. Winners include but are not limited to global leaders such as IBM, NVIDIA, and Intel—underscoring the prestige and competitive nature of this recognition.

Sharper Shape’s award-winning solution is powered by CORE (Cloud Optimized Remote Evaluation), its AI-driven platform that processes LiDAR, imagery, and other data to build a dynamic, digital representation—or Living Digital Twin—of utility infrastructure. This visualization enables utilities to understand, inspect, and manage their assets with a level of precision and proactivity never before possible.

“Our team is honored to be recognized by the AI Breakthrough Awards for our work in utility data visualization,” said Chris Beaufait, CEO at Sharper Shape. “This award validates our mission to revolutionize utility operations by making massive volumes of complex data understandable and actionable. We’re proud to empower utilities to make smarter decisions that protect people, infrastructure, and the environment.”

Sharper Shape’s CORE platform is already being used by major utilities to reduce truck rolls, inspect assets, ensure regulatory compliance, and improve wildfire risk mitigation. The platform’s visual insights help transform traditional grid management into a proactive, data-first discipline.
