This year's forum saw the participation of about 400 political leaders from around the world, including roughly 65 heads of state such as U.S. President Donald Trump, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, making it the largest gathering of government officials in WEF history. Notably, world leaders are focusing on the unprecedented pace of innovation and technological advancement, with the responsible use of cutting-edge technologies, including AI, being addressed as a key agenda item.

Lunit first participated in the WEF in 2020 as a "Technology Pioneer" and has continued to receive invitations, raising its profile in the global industry. In 2023, the company was selected as a "Global Innovator," and in 2024, it became the first medical AI company worldwide to obtain "Associate Partner" status. Now entering its third year as an associate partner, Lunit is solidifying its position as a leader in the global medical AI field.

During this year's WEF, CEO Seo Beomseok plans to meet with government health officials and leaders from the global medical and pharmaceutical industries to discuss the adoption and application of AI. In particular, he intends to engage in in-depth conversations with experts from various fields about the role of AI in addressing global healthcare challenges, such as early cancer detection, supporting cancer treatment decisions, and strengthening public healthcare systems.

Seo Beomseok, CEO of Lunit, stated, "As AI is being actively introduced into medical practice, what governments and healthcare institutions worldwide consider most important is reliability and the clinical evidence to support it. By leveraging the global network we have built through four consecutive years of direct participation in Davos, we will listen to the expectations and opinions of various stakeholders on medical AI at this forum and actively incorporate them into Lunit's business strategy."
