WORLDWEBFORUM/FinTech 2017
Innovation doesn't just belong to Silicon Valley - it comes from everywhere.
That's the message from the World Economic Forum sent with its annual list of the most innovative companies in the world. The list includes 61 early-stage companies whose technologies are "world changing."

As industry-watchers may expect, many of the companies listed are utilizing artificial intelligence, as well as a number of biotech firms and blockchain technologies.
Here are the 61 companies the World Economic Forum considers pioneers.
