Socure Joins World Economic Forum Unicorn Community, Will Attend 2026 Annual Meeting in Davos

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Socure, the AI-first platform for global identity and risk decisioning, has announced today that it has joined the World Economic Forum’s Unicorn Community, an exclusive invite-only program, designated for private hyper-growth companies valued at over $1 billion at the forefront of disruption and innovation in their industries. Socure CEO Johnny Ayers will attend the 2026 Annual Meeting, taking place in Davos-Klosters from January 19-23, under the theme “A Spirit of Dialogue.”

As part of the WEF dialogue, Socure will focus on the criticality of trusted identity in the age of AI agents and emerging cross-border financial infrastructure.

Socure’s mission is to verify 100% of good identities and eliminate identity fraud, powered by a risk operating system that drives every identity, compliance, and fraud decision globally for the world’s leading enterprises.

This mission has never mattered more. Global fraud syndicates, armed with powerful AI tools, are scaling attacks at unprecedented speed, generating hyper-realistic deepfakes, spoofed businesses, and fabricated identities. The stakes are rising even further as AI agents begin executing sensitive tasks and instant, anonymous cross-border payments are at the fingertips of every consumer.

Identity has become the core infrastructure of the digital economy, with risk decisions required behind every critical transaction.

For the 2026 Annual Meeting, Socure will focus on three core themes:

• Securing Borderless Financial Systems: Without a way of assessing identity risk, financial infrastructures like stablecoins are vulnerable to illicit finance and fraud, turning the cross-border economy into a global threat.
• Identity in the Age of AI Agents: AI agents are ushering in an autonomous, agent-driven economy where transactions occur at speeds beyond human capability and across geographic boundaries. We must ensure AI agents that are acting on behalf of humans or business entities are real, authorized, and accountable.
• Uncovering Global Identity Fraud, Scams and Scaled AI Attacks: With organized fraud and scam rings attacking across borders and market verticals, it is more critical than ever to share data and unveil the threat patterns.

“In 2025, we saw unprecedented levels of fraud across borders and industries, which is only escalating in the age of AI. Socure has helped over 3,000 customers in 190 countries, and verifies more than 4.6B identity verification requests annually, helping to build trust and prevent fraud at an unprecedented scale,” said Johnny Ayers, founder and CEO of Socure. “We are honored to be a part of the World Economic Forum Unicorn Community to advance identity as critical global infrastructure and foster collaboration among government and industry leaders.”

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation, which facilitates rigorous and respectful dialogue to improve the state of the world through the power of human ingenuity, entrepreneurship, innovation, and cooperation. WEF's Unicorn Community is one of three Global Innovator Communities that provides a platform to engage with public- and private-sector leaders and contribute new solutions to overcome current crises and build future resiliency.
