illumex Named World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer 2025 for Transforming Agentic AI Adoption for Enterprises

Selection to the prestigious cohort underscores illumex's role in shaping trustworthy agentic AI that delivers reliable, explainable, and compliant decisions at scale.

NEW YORK, June 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- illumex, the company empowering enterprises with governed business ontologies for actionable agentic AI, today announced it has been named a 2025 Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum. The recognition places illumex among a select group of startups globally that are recognized for their potential to transform business and society through innovation.

As a Technology Pioneer, illumex joins a 25-year tradition of groundbreaking companies shaping the future through technology. illumex will now engage with public and private sector leaders via the World Economic Forum's global platform, contributing to discussions on responsible AI deployment, data governance, and innovation in the future of work.

In the era of agentic AI, an organization's data – more so than the AI models themselves – is its biggest competitive moat. illumex helps enterprises harness this advantage by turning their organizational corpus of  knowledge into a governed, contextualized foundation for AI. The platform enables organizations to capture business language, build governed ontologies, and embed these ontologies as a basis for data management, analytics, and agentic workflows. This dual capability allows companies to maintain full control over their proprietary knowledge and data on one side; and on the other, deploy scalable, trustworthy agentic AI that delivers accurate, explainable, and compliant outcomes across the enterprise.

"This recognition from the World Economic Forum is powerful validation of our mission to make enterprise data meaningful, governable, and usable for actionable agentic AI," said Inna Tokarev Sela, Founder and CEO of illumex. "As enterprises confront the challenges of AI adoption, including trust, risk, and cost management, illumex is uniquely positioned to transform their data into a foundation for safe, explainable agentic AI at scale."

illumex's selection as a Technology Pioneer comes on the heels of several significant achievements, including the launch of its illumex Omni platform for Microsoft Teams. With illumex  Omni, business users can engage with data in natural language, backed by deterministic, explainable responses that enable intelligent enterprise-wide decision-making.
