TEL AVIV, Israel, June 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Seebo, the Predictive Quality and Yield solution for manufacturers, has been selected among hundreds of candidates as one of the World Economic Forum's "Technology Pioneers".

Seebo is pushing the boundaries of the Fourth Industrial Revolution with its pioneering Process-Based Artificial Intelligence (AI) - a totally new form of Industrial Artificial Intelligence that is paving the way for a new, more sustainable future for manufacturing. Seebo enables manufacturers to master complex production processes, preventing process-driven losses that cost the global economy billions and pose a severe challenge to sustainably meeting rapidly-growing consumption.

Seebo is used by global manufacturing giants such as Nestle, Mondelez, Georgia-Pacific, Volkswagen Group and ICL.

"Changing the Face of Manufacturing"

The World Economic Forum's Technology Pioneers are early to growth-stage companies from around the world that are involved in the design, development and deployment of new technologies and innovations, and are poised to have a significant impact on business and society. Technology Pioneers community is an integral part of the larger Global Innovators community of start-ups at the World Economic Forum.

Following its selection as Technology Pioneer, Seebo's CEO Lior Akavia will be invited to participate at World Economic Forum activities, events and discussions throughout the year. Seebo will also contribute to Forum initiatives over the next two years, working with policymakers and private sector leaders to help define the global agenda on key issues.

"We're excited to welcome Seebo to our 20^th cohort of Technology Pioneers," says Susan Nesbitt, Head of the Global Innovators Community, World Economic Forum. "Seebo and its fellow pioneers are developing cutting-edge technologies all over the world. Beyond their innovations, these firms are contributing greatly to improving the state of the world."

"It's really exciting to be acknowledged as a pioneer by the World Economic Forum," said Seebo CEO Lior Akavia. "It's a powerful affirmation of how our technology is changing the face of manufacturing - to the benefit of manufacturers themselves, global consumers, and the very world we live in."

"The world population is set to grow by over 2 billion in the next 30 years, while consumption in 3rd world countries will look increasingly like that of the developed world," added Akavia." As a result, demand for manufactured goods will explode.

"Overcoming the related risks - like pollution and high living costs - will rely on the successful implementation of cutting-edge Industrial Artificial Intelligence. Seebo is proud to stand at the forefront of this wave of innovation, and we look forward to contributing to the Forum dialogues on this pressing issue."

This year's cohort selection marks the 20^th anniversary of the Tech Pioneers community. Throughout its 20-year run, many Technology Pioneers have continuously contributed to advancement in their industries while some have even gone on to become household names. Past recipients include Airbnb, Google, Kickstarter, Mozilla, Palantir Technologies, Spotify, TransferWise, Twitter and Wikimedia.

2020 Tech Pioneer firms are shaping the future by advancing technologies such as AI, IoT, robotics, blockchain, biotechnology and many more. The diversity of these companies extends to their leadership as well, as over 25% of 2020 Tech Pioneers are female led.
