Press Release: LightSolver Recognized as 2025 Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum
LightSolver has been honored as a 2025 Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum (WEF) for its revolutionary laser-based computing technology aimed at tackling large-scale computational challenges. With this accolade, the company joins an elite group of startups recognized for their potential to address pressing global issues through innovative technologies.
Established in 1998, the WEF Technology Pioneers program celebrates 100 early-stage tech firms that embody the entrepreneurial spirit necessary for creating a more equitable and sustainable future. LightSolver stands out in this cohort with its all-optical Laser Processing Unit™ (LPU), which harnesses laser interactions to perform high-speed, energy-efficient computations. This novel approach significantly accelerates solutions for complex tasks such as combinatorial optimization and computer-aided engineering (CAE) simulations.
As part of the WEF’s Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, LightSolver will have the opportunity to collaborate with global leaders in the public and private sectors. This participation will facilitate the scaling of its innovations and enhance its impact on society. Members will share insights, contribute to discussions, and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of emerging technologies.
“We look forward to joining this inspiring global community of innovators,” said Ruti Ben-Shlomi, CEO and co-founder of LightSolver. “This recognition motivates us to advance optical computing methodologies that are not only faster and more efficient, but also scalable and sustainable, as we strive to solve complex global challenges.”
LightSolver’s visionary approach redefines high-performance computing and advances the field towards a more efficient future.
