Quantexa has become the first British company to join the World Economic Forum’s Unicorn Community as the London AI firm seeks to increase its presence on the world stage.

The invite-only group offers a range of benefits to top tech firms, including participation in forums, workshops, and events. Quantexa said it hopes to use the opportunity to help shape global policy decisions on critical topics such as AI, data privacy, digital transformation, and analytics.

Formed in 2022, the WEF Unicorn Community has 81 members worldwide. The AI business is one of ten European members including Mistral and DeepL.

Quantexa’s Founder and CEO, Vishal Marria, will also be attending the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting in Davos, where this year’s theme, “Collaboration in the Intelligent Age,” underscores the critical role of data-driven decision-making in tackling global challenges.

Marria, said joining the programme offers “the opportunity to work alongside some of the world’s most influential global leaders, policymakers, and innovators.”

“As the global conversation on AI, data privacy, and digital transformation intensifies, our role in shaping these discussions becomes even more critical. We are excited to share our perspective to help define the best practices and policies shaping a more secure, transparent, and prosperous future.”

Quantexa became the first British unicorn of 2023 after closing a $129m funding round at a valuation of $1.8bn.
