Six Consecutive Years! IROOTECH Proves Its Unicorn Status Again with "AI + Industry"
Recently, the Hurun Research Institute officially released the Global Unicorn Index 2026 in Guangzhou, listing unlisted companies founded after the year 2000 with a valuation of at least USD 1 billion worldwide. IROOTECH once again made the list, propelled by its technological breakthroughs in AI, embodied robotics, and other fields, becoming the only industrial intelligence company in Guangzhou to be selected for six consecutive years.

In 2026, a total of 1,603 companies made the list worldwide. Rupert Hoogewerf, Chairman and Chief Researcher of the Hurun Group, stated: "The total value of the world's unicorns has surged 43% to US$8Tn, driven almost entirely by the AI boom. The Top 10 alone are worth US$3.9Tn — nearly half the entire list. This concentration of economic value is unprecedented and reflects investor conviction that AI will produce a small number of extraordinarily valuable companies."
This year's unicorn list sends a strong signal: AI is moving from the general-purpose domain into the physical world. It is this precise grasp of the trend that gives IROOTECH the confidence to remain on the list year after year. IROOTECH deeply roots intelligence on the front lines: it builds intelligent agents for production, R&D, after-sales service, and other domains based on the Rootling Large Model to empower enterprise management; through embodied intelligence technology, it develops working and manufacturing robots that are widely applied in welding, excavation, logistics, and other industrial scenarios.
Being listed on the Global Unicorn Index for six consecutive years not only confirms IROOTECH's leading position in the industrial intelligence sector but also highlights the tremendous potential unleashed by "AI + Industry." Looking ahead, IROOTECH will continue to deliver leading industrial intelligence technologies, support the digital-intelligent transformation of more enterprises, and work with global partners to jointly shape a new blueprint for high-end intelligent manufacturing.
