Technology Pioneers are an integral part of the Forum’s Global Innovators community, which is an invitation-only group of the world’s most promising start-ups and scale-ups that are at the forefront of technological and business model innovation. Technology Pioneers are also part of the Forum’s Strategic Intelligence ecosystem, which helps industry leaders and decision-makers navigate transformations across industries, economies and global issues.

According to the World Economic Forum, the selected companies will be part of the institution’s initiatives for two years. In other words, the Economic Forum will prepare activities and events in which the selected companies will be able to bring their “cutting edge perspectives” to global debates related to their fields of work.

In addition to the companies mentioned, the blockchain companies will be among the Technology Pioneers along with Mozilla, Spotify, Twitter, Google, among others. This list created by the World Economic Forum is celebrating 20 years of existence. Since the year 2000 it has selected some of the most important technology companies in the world. In 2015, for example, the payment solutions company Ripple was one of the selected companies.
