We’re proud to celebrate a major milestone for QuSecure, an EvoNexus Portfolio Company: selection as a 2026 Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum, announced on June 10, 2026, in recognition of the company’s leadership in post-quantum cryptography.
“QuSecure has been building toward this moment since its earliest days in our portfolio, when post-quantum cryptography was a frontier most of the market hadn’t yet taken seriously,” said Rory Moore, CEO and Co-Founder of EvoNexus. “Rebecca Krauthamer and her team understood that the encryption protecting the world’s financial, healthcare, and government systems was built for a pre-quantum era — and they set out to give organizations a practical path to migrate before that risk becomes a reality. Being named a World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer, alongside the kind of companies that once included Google and Nvidia, is exactly the recognition this work deserves.”
SAN MATEO, Calif. — June 10, 2026 — QuSecure™, Inc., a leader in post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and cryptographic agility, today announced that the World Economic Forum (WEF) has named the company as a 2026 Technology Pioneer. Each year the WEF awards leading early-stage start-ups from around the globe for their cutting-edge technologies with the potential to improve the world.
The 2026 cohort highlights the major trends in global innovation, from AI infrastructure and robotics to quantum systems, advanced energy, biotechnology, and next-generation materials. Past WEF Technology Pioneers include Google, Palantir, PayPal, Twitter, Cloudflare, Okta, Dropbox, Nvidia, GitHub, and Red Hat, which were recognized while in their startup phases.
“QuSecure is honored to be named to this select list and join a global community of innovators contributing ideas, expertise, and technology to conversations shaping the future of industries and society,” said QuSecure CEO Rebecca Krauthamer. “We look forward to engaging with leaders across industries, governments, and civil society through the Forum’s global platform.”
QuSecure’s flagship QuProtect R3 platform provides a cryptographic control plane that enables security teams to swap algorithms and push cryptographic policy changes across an entire network from a single point of control — from TLS upgrades to full post-quantum migration — without application rewrites. Recognized as the Global Post-Quantum Cryptography Product Leader, QuSecure serves customers including U.S. defense agencies, global financial institutions, and critical infrastructure providers.
At EvoNexus, we back founders who are relentlessly focused on building real companies that solve real problems. Foundational, hard-to-build deep technology like quantum-resilient encryption is exactly the kind of work we exist to support, and seeing QuSecure earn recognition on a global stage is a testament to the team’s vision and execution.
Congratulations to Rebecca Krauthamer and the entire QuSecure team on joining the World Economic Forum’s 2026 Technology Pioneers cohort. We can’t wait to see what comes next.
