illumex, a trailblazer in empowering enterprises with governed business ontologies for actionable agentic AI, today announced its selection as a 2025 Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum. This prestigious recognition underscores illumex’s pivotal role in enabling widespread, trustworthy adoption of agentic AI, allowing businesses to unlock unprecedented levels of efficiency, accuracy, and compliance.
The World Economic Forum’s Technology Pioneers community celebrates early-stage companies globally that are poised to significantly impact business and society through their breakthrough innovations. illumex joins a distinguished cohort, marking 25 years of the program’s commitment to identifying and championing technologies that shape the future.
illumex’s Generative Semantic Fabric (GSF) platform is at the heart of this transformation. It addresses a critical challenge in agentic AI adoption: transforming an enterprise’s vast and often unstructured data into an AI-ready, context-rich foundation. The platform achieves this by enabling organizations to capture their unique business language, build governed ontologies, and embed these ontologies as a robust basis for data management, analytics, and complex agentic workflows.
“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,” stated 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.”
By providing a dual capability, illumex allows companies to maintain full control over their proprietary knowledge and data while simultaneously deploying scalable, trustworthy agentic AI. This ensures that AI agents can interpret prompts with precision, significantly reducing hallucinations, ensuring compliance, and drastically cutting the total cost of ownership by up to 80%.
illumex’s inclusion as a Technology Pioneer follows a series of significant achievements, including the recent launch of its illumex Omni platform for Microsoft Teams. This integration empowers business users to engage with data in natural language, receiving deterministic, explainable responses that facilitate intelligent, enterprise-wide decision-making.
As a Technology Pioneer, illumex will now actively engage with public and private sector leaders through the World Economic Forum’s global platform. This collaboration will contribute to critical discussions on responsible AI deployment, robust data governance, and the evolving future of work, further solidifying illumex’s influence in shaping the ethical and effective adoption of advanced AI across industries.
