o9 joins WEF Associate Partnership as the enterprise-AI software firm formalizes a new level of engagement with the World Economic Forum enabling participation in high-profile global forums, contributes to key supply-chain and manufacturing policy dialogues, and further embedding its AI-powered planning platform in international efforts to transform supply networks.
What the New Partnership Means
By attaining Associate Partner status with the World Economic Forum (WEF), o9 transitions from its earlier role in WEF's “Innovator Communities” to a more integrated, long-term collaboration. Over the next three years, o9 will contribute to the WEF's Center for Advanced Manufacturing and Supply Chains joining other global business, government, academic, and civil-society leaders to tackle systemic issues around supply-chain resilience, sustainability, and AI-driven transformation.This move enables o9 to attend the WEF annual meeting in Davos as well as regional events, placing the company at the heart of conversations around global commerce, manufacturing standards, and emerging technological governance.
Why o9's Participation Matters
- Influencing Global Supply-Chain Strategy: As supply chains become more fragile due to geopolitical events, pandemics, and climate issues, having a seat at WEF gives o9 a chance to shape how global industries adopt AI and digital planning tools to improve resilience and transparency.
- Promoting Responsible AI Adoption: With o9's AI-powered Digital Brain platform, the company can advocate for ethical, sustainable, and scalable AI usage in supply-chain planning aligning commercial efficiency with long-term sustainability goals.

o9's Broader Context: AI-Led Supply-Chain Reinvention
This development builds on o9's prior involvement with the WEF: the company joined WEF's Innovator Communities in early 2024 under its Unicorn Program, and participated in the Center for Advanced Manufacturing and Supply Chains at that time.In 2025, o9 also hosted an executive roundtable at WEF 2025 in Davos gathering senior leaders across industries to discuss how AI can drive enterprise transformation, supply-chain resilience, and value creation across global value chains.
These steps reflect o9's strategic positioning: combining its AI-native Digital Brain platform with global governance and collaboration frameworks to shape the future of supply-chain planning, manufacturing integration, and sustainable operations.

- Thought Leadership and Policy Advocacy: o9 may contribute white papers, insights, and practical frameworks leveraging its experience in enterprise planning to influence global policy on manufacturing, supply-chain resilience, and AI regulation.
- Expanded Global Footprint & Partnerships: Through WEF networks, o9 may forge new alliances with major corporations, governments, and NGOs enabling joint projects on supply-chain modernization, decarbonization, and sustainable growth.
- Driving Adoption of AI-Powered Planning in Diverse Industries: As global awareness of supply-chain fragility increases, more industries may adopt o9's platform especially those under regulatory or ESG pressure promoting wider AI integration across sectors.
