World Economic Forum announces "AI Solutions Stars", nearly half from China

January 21, 2026


Abstract : A new global roster of high-impact MINDS (Meaningful, Intelligent, Novel, Deployable Solutions) organizations was announced at the World Economic Forum (WEF)'s 2026 Annual Meeting here on Tuesday, with China now accounting for nearly half of all recognized solutions since the launch of the first batch last year.

DAVOS, Switzerland, Jan. 20 (Xinhua) -- A new global roster of high-impact MINDS (Meaningful, Intelligent, Novel, Deployable Solutions) organizations was announced at the World Economic Forum (WEF)'s 2026 Annual Meeting here on Tuesday, with China now accounting for nearly half of all recognized solutions since the launch of the first batch last year.

The new report, titled "Proof Over Promise: Insights on Real-World AI Adoption from 2025 MINDS Organizations," was jointly released by the WEF and Accenture.

An independent assessment council composed of business executives and industry experts analyzed hundreds of cases from more than 30 countries and regions spanning over 20 industries including healthcare, energy and infrastructure, then selected the MINDS organizations, aiming to showcase real-world high-impact AI application cases.

"AI offers extraordinary potential, yet many organizations remain unsure about how to realize it," said WEF Managing Director and Chief Technology Officer Stephan Mergenthaler. "The selected use cases show what is possible when ambition is translated into operational transformation."

The WEF's 56th Annual Meeting is taking place on Jan. 19-23 in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland, under the theme "A Spirit of Dialogue," convening leaders from business, government, international organizations, civil society and academia.
