Dawex, the leading data exchange technology company and the operator of the largest data marketplace, today announced being awarded as “Technology Pioneer” by the World Economic Forum and joining the World Economic Forum Global Innovators Community. Dawex will contribute to the Data Policy platform, a work group leading the Forum’s approach to data policy and data governance. The aim is to help define and implement forward-looking, interoperable, and trustworthy data policies to fuel innovation and accelerate responsible use of data in the new globally integrated data economy.
Onboarded on a two-year program, Tech Pioneers are involved in the design, development and deployment of new technologies and innovations, and are poised to have a significant impact on business and society. With this nomination, Dawex joins policymakers and private sector leaders to help define the global agenda on key issues.
“We are very honored to be named Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum. It confirms data exchanges are playing a central role in today’s global economy,” says Laurent Lafaye, Dawex co-CEO. “Being invited to join the Data Policy work group is an acknowledgement of the importance of Dawex mission to create the conditions for the smooth development of the data economy by facilitating the exchange of data between companies and organizations.”
As a “Tech Pioneer”, Dawex joins the ranks of prestigious past recipients that have since become household names such as Airbnb, Google, Kickstarter, Mozilla, Palantir Technologies, Spotify, TransferWise or Twitter. Dawex is breaking ground for French Tech and for data companies as, since 2007, it is the first French data company to receive this distinction and only 8 French companies have been named “Tech Pioneers” by the World Economic Forum.
“We’re excited to welcome Dawex to our 20th cohort of Technology Pioneers,” says Susan Nesbitt, Head of the Global Innovators Community, World Economic Forum. “Dawex and its fellow pioneers are developing cutting edge technologies all over the world. Beyond their innovations, these firms are contributing greatly to improving the state of the world.”
“The creation of a Data Policy platform by the World Economic Forum has marked a new milestone for data exchange,” says Fabrice Tocco, Dawex co-CEO. “It drives public and private organizations to seize the data opportunities and open new business horizons. Data exchange is an innovation enabler and unlocks the value of data, renewing the way public and private organizations collaborate. This is shaping a promising future.”

Riskified Study Finds Consumers Aren’t Ready to Hand Over Control as AI Transforms Shopping, with Over Half Afraid of Online Fraud27.4.2026 15:00:00 EEST | Press release
Riskified (NYSE: RSKD), a global leader in ecommerce fraud and risk intelligence, today released the Q1 2026 edition of its Agentic Commerce Pulse, a quarterly research series tracking agentic commerce risks and consumer engagement. Following Riskified’s inaugural Q4 2025 survey, which first highlighted the rapid emergence of agent-driven commerce, the latest findings reveal a more complex reality: while AI adoption remains strong, consumer trust is not keeping pace. A widening gap is emerging between how shoppers use AI and how much control they are willing to give it. The survey, conducted among consumers across the United States and the United Kingdom, shows that AI is now firmly embedded in product discovery and decision-making. However, compared to Riskified’s agentic commerce pulse survey in Q4 2025, consumer sentiment has shifted, with growing concerns around fraud, security, and accountability slowing the path to fully autonomous, agent-driven transactions. Key findings from th
Nine in 10 Expect Cross-Border M&A Surge, But 71% of Dealmakers Have Already Changed Course on Deals27.4.2026 15:00:00 EEST | Press release
Cross-border M&A is set for a strong resurgence, with nine in 10 senior dealmakers expecting activity to increase over the next 12 to 24 months, according to new research from CSC, the leading provider of business administration and compliance solutions. However, despite this renewed momentum, execution risk is rising, with regulatory scrutiny and operational challenges making it harder to get deals over the line. CSC¹ surveyed 200 director level and above global dealmakers across private equity, corporate, legal, and advisory roles who have worked on cross-border transactions in the past two years. The report, The New Reality of Cross-Border M&A: More Deals, More Friction, explores how firms are navigating an increasingly complex global deal environment. The findings highlight a growing disconnect between ambition and execution. Cross-border transactions are expected to form a significant portion of deal pipelines, with 47% of respondents expecting them to account for between 26% and
Mundipharma announces positive topline results from Phase III ReSPECT trial assessing ▼ REZZAYO ® (rezafungin) for the prophylaxis of invasive fungal diseases in allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients27.4.2026 14:43:00 EEST | Press release
Mundipharma today announced positive Phase III topline results from the global ReSPECT clinical trial evaluating REZZAYO® (rezafungin acetate) for prophylaxis of invasive fungal diseases (IFDs) in adult patients undergoing allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The ReSPECT Phase III trial, one of the largest antifungal, multicentre, randomised, double-blind studies evaluated the efficacy and safety of once weekly rezafungin compared with a SAR for the prophylaxis of IFDs, including infections caused by Candida, Aspergillus, and Pneumocystis, in adults undergoing allogeneic HSCT. Patients undergoing allogeneic HSCT face prolonged periods of immunosuppression and routinely require extended antifungal prophylaxis,1 representing a setting where differentiated dosing, improved side effect profile, and reduced DDI is beneficial, and comparable efficacy is expected. The ReSPECT study met its primary endpoint for US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines
