Reality Defender Named 2025 World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer

We are thrilled to announce that Reality Defender has been selected as one of the World Economic Forum's Technology Pioneers for 2025. This prestigious recognition places us among 100 groundbreaking companies from 28 countries that are driving innovation across industries and borders.

Joining an Elite Community of Innovation

The Technology Pioneers program, now celebrating its 25th anniversary, has been a launchpad for companies that have gone on to transform industries worldwide. Alumni include household names like Google, PayPal, Dropbox, and SoundCloud. To be counted among this distinguished community is both humbling and energizing as we continue on our mission in securing critical communication channels against deepfake impersonations.

This selection by the World Economic Forum validates the urgent need for our technology in today's rapidly evolving AI-first world. As the WEF notes in their announcement, Reality Defender "address[es] the growing issue of deepfakes, which are being used to exploit people and technology, by securing communication channels against deepfake impersonations in real time."

In an era where generative AI tools enable bad actors to impersonate and defraud at scale, our patented multimodal detection technology serves as a critical defense for enterprises and governments worldwide. The WEF's recognition underscores that protecting against digital impersonation isn't just a technical challenge; it's a fundamental requirement for maintaining trust in our interconnected world.

Leading the Fight Against AI-Powered Deception

As a Technology Pioneer, Reality Defender will contribute cutting-edge insights to WEF initiatives over the next two years, helping shape the global conversation around AI security and digital trust. We are already taking part in the Annual Meeting of the New Champions 2025 in Tianjin, China as of this writing, connecting with over 1,700 leaders from business, government, and civil society to explore entrepreneurial solutions to global challenges. This platform will accelerate our ability to develop and deploy even more advanced solutions that protect organizations from reputational damage, data breaches, and asset theft caused by deepfake attacks.

The 2025 cohort stands out for its concentration of companies developing breakthrough technologies to address pressing global challenges. Reality Defender's inclusion highlights the critical importance of cybersecurity in the age of AI, particularly our unique approach that combines real-world accuracy with in-the-wild effectiveness and continuously engineered resilience. With flexible deployment across existing tech stacks, we deliver enterprise-grade integration that meets organizations where they are.

Looking Ahead

We're proud to stand alongside other innovators working on everything from quantum computing to clean energy solutions, all united in our mission to solve humanity's most pressing challenges. Together, we're building a future where technology enhances rather than undermines trust.

This achievement wouldn't be possible without the trust and support of our clients, partners, and team members who believe in our mission. Your commitment to securing communication channels against deepfake threats has been instrumental in reaching this milestone.

As we embark on this two-year journey with the World Economic Forum, we remain focused on our core mission of providing security at the speed of communication. We look forward to taking part in one of the most well-known global platforms to expand our impact and continue developing cutting-edge solutions that protect trust in an increasingly less trustworthy world.
