“Pioneers are increasingly combining innovations like sensor technology, artificial intelligence and big data analysis to find real world applications in sectors that previously didn’t use them.”įor example, whereas an innovation like blockchain was initially confined to virtual currencies, it is now finding applications as a transparent platform for servicing energy markets (Electron), and as enterprise software to issue and transfer financial assets (Chain). “We’ve reached a new phase in the Fourth Industrial Revolution,” said Fulvia Montresor, Head of Technology Pioneers at the World Economic Forum.
Citrine Informatics is developing an IT platform that predicts the behaviour of chemicals in manufacturing and R&D, Deep Instinct is creating deep learning software to avoid the most invasive cyberattacks, and Mesosphere, through its Datacentre Operating System, is enabling businesses to handle the massive amounts of data collected in a hyperconnected world. This year’s Tech Pioneers include Aclima, which develops sensor networks that advance environmental intelligence to improve human health, and Konux, which combines smart sensors and AI-based analytics to help industrial and rail companies save costs. T he World Economic Forum on Wednesday announced its 2017 class of Technology Pioneers, representing the world’s most innovative start-ups and scale-ups in such fields as artificial intelligence and robotics, virtual and augmented reality, blockchain, cybersecurity, autonomous driving, drones and biosciences.
