Each year the World Economic Forum identifies leading start-ups from across the entire world that are considered the Technology Pioneers by their international selection committee.
The class is”particularly diverse, providing new solutions to a number of challenges, including technologies for a greener and more sustainable planet; the deployment of precise and targeted therapies in the treatment of cancer and other diseases; the rethinking and redesign of how we deliver education; a robotics renaissance; the creation of a more personalized Internet experience; and the initiation of a “sharing” economy.”
This year’s class of 36 companies includes 23 companies located wholly (or predominantly) in the United States. Two have locations in India, D-Rev which is actually a non profit and maintains a California location as well and OMC Power. There is no purely Chinese company on the list, but Hong Kong based Lenndo may qualify as Chinese to some.
