Reflecting on our journey from Panama-based IT consultancy to internationally recognised AI innovation leader
The Moment That Changed Everything
When we received the notification from Corporate Vision that Treyee had been selected as a Technology Innovator Award winner for Best AI Engineering Solutions Innovator 2025 - Panama, it felt like validation of everything we've worked toward since founding the company in 2023. But this recognition represents far more than a single achievement. it's a testament to our unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of what's possible with artificial intelligence and enterprise technology.
The Journey: From Disruptive Vision to Market Reality
The Foundation Years (2023-2024)
Our story began with a simple yet ambitious mission: to democratize enterprise-level AI technology for businesses of all sizes. Founded in Panama with a focus on open-source technologies and cloud-native solutions, we knew we were entering a crowded market. What set us apart was our conviction that AI should enhance human potential, not replace it.
In our first year, we established strategic partnerships with industry leaders like the Linux Foundation and Cloud Native Computing Foundation. These alliances weren't just about credibility—they were about building on proven, robust foundations while we developed our own revolutionary approach to AI-powered business solutions.
The Breakthrough: Treyee AI Ecosystem
2024 marked a turning point. We began developing what would become our flagship innovation: the Treyee AI Ecosystem. This wasn't just another chatbot platform or automation tool. We envisioned an integrated suite of agentic AI assistants that could truly understand and adapt to each business's unique needs.
Scaling Success: Real Results, Real Impact
The Technology Innovator Award recognizes not just innovation for innovation's sake, but practical solutions that drive measurable business outcomes. Our case studies speak for themselves. They represent real businesses transforming their operations and achieving growth they never thought possible.

What This Award Means for Treyee
Validation of Our Approach
The Technology Innovator Award validates our core belief that AI should be accessible, practical, and transformative. Too many AI solutions are either too complex for small businesses or too generic for enterprise needs. Our ecosystem bridges that gap, offering enterprise-grade intelligence with startup-friendly implementation.
Recognition of Our Global Impact
Starting in Panama and now serving clients across the United States, Guatemala, and the United Kingdom, this award recognises our ability to deliver consistent value across diverse markets and industries. It's proof that innovation knows no geographical boundaries.
Momentum for Future Growth
This recognition comes at a pivotal moment. With our recent expansion into the US market and groundbreaking partnerships with SAP and Odoo, we're positioned to scale our impact exponentially. The award serves as a beacon for potential clients and partners who want to work with proven innovators.
Lessons for Aspiring Tech Entrepreneurs
Start with Real Problems, Not Just Cool Technology Our success didn't come from building the most advanced AI—it came from solving real business challenges. Every feature in our ecosystem addresses a specific pain point we identified through client interactions. Advice: Before you write your first line of code, spend months talking to potential customers. Understand their struggles intimately. Technology should be the solution, not the starting point.
Build on Strong Foundations Rather than trying to reinvent everything, we leveraged proven open-source technologies and established partnerships. This allowed us to focus on innovation where it mattered most—the user experience and business outcomes. Advice: Don't let ego drive your technology choices. Use the best available tools and platforms, then add your unique value on top.
Measure What Matters Every client engagement taught us something new about what drives real business value. We relentlessly focused on metrics that matter: conversion rates, response times, operational efficiency, and ultimately, ROI. Advice: Establish clear success metrics from day one. If you can't measure your impact, you can't prove your value.
Think Global from Day One Despite starting in a small market, we always designed our solutions with global scalability in mind. This prepared us for rapid international expansion when opportunities arose. Advice: Build systems, processes, and partnerships that can scale beyond your initial market. Global thinking prevents costly rebuilds later.
Embrace Strategic Partnerships Our partnerships with Linux Foundation, CNCF, SAP, Odoo, and Zendesk weren't just nice-to-haves—they were fundamental to our credibility and capability. These relationships opened doors and provided resources we could never have developed internally. Advice: Identify the key players in your ecosystem and find ways to add value to them. Mutual benefit creates lasting partnerships.
The Path to Award Recognition
Building Credibility Through Results
Awards aren't given for potential, they're earned through demonstrated impact. Our systematic approach to documenting and sharing client success stories created a compelling narrative of consistent value delivery.
Thought Leadership and Industry Engagement
We actively contributed to industry discussions around AI ethics, practical implementation, and business transformation. This visibility positioned us as innovators, not just service providers.
Continuous Innovation
The award recognises not just what we've built, but our commitment to ongoing innovation. Our upcoming new features with SAP Business One and expanded Zendesk integrations show we're not resting on past achievements.
Looking Forward: The Future of AI-Drive Business Automation
This award marks the beginning, not the end, of our innovation journey. We're already working on next-generation capabilities that will further democratize AI access for businesses worldwide.
Our vision remains unchanged: a future where AI amplifies human potential and drives sustainable business growth. The Technology Innovator Award validates that this vision resonates in the market and gives us the platform to reach even more businesses ready to embrace this transformation.
