Reston – October 24, 2026 -- Fast Company has named Seekr's SeekrFlow platform to its 2026 Next Big Things in Tech list in the Established Excellence category, citing its ability to make AI explainable and defensible for enterprises and government agencies.
SeekrFlow targets the gap between AI outputs and regulatory defense
Organizations are moving AI into loan approvals, supply chains, critical infrastructure and national security, according to Seekr. Most still cannot show which data drove an output or defend it to a regulator, auditor or oversight body.
AI-Ready Data Engine and verification tools anchor the platform
The SeekrFlow AI-Ready Data Engine converts raw enterprise data into high-quality datasets. Its verification tools trace data influence, score accuracy and let teams contest and correct errors.
Seekr says the combination gives organizations explainability, visibility and control over how AI is built, evaluated and deployed. Customers can run AI on their own data in their own environment, including sovereign deployments.
Seekr ties regulation and guardrails to explainable AI
Seekr President Rob Clark said organizations "need to know where that answer came from, how it was derived, and whether it can be relied upon." He added that regulation, guardrails and hardware-level shutoffs all depend on the explainable AI technology Seekr has spent years developing.
Fast Company list spans established companies, startups and research teams
The annual Next Big Things in Tech list recognizes technologies from established companies, startups and research teams. Fast Company Editor-in-Chief Brendan Vaughan said this year's honorees are tackling ambitious problems with new ideas, products and approaches.
