Global mobility and delivery platform inDrive has joined the World Economic Forum\u2019s (WEF) Unicorn Community, an invitation-only group of hyper-growth companies recognized for driving innovation and creating positive impact across industries and communities worldwide.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The recognition highlights inDrive\u2019s efforts to build a more people-driven digital economy, where technology creates more access to opportunities, promotes transparency, and addresses the needs of local communities. Through its participation in WEF\u2019s Unicorn Community, inDrive will contribute insights on mobility, innovation, and economic inclusion spanning areas such as women\u2019s entrepreneurship and education from emerging markets, including the Philippines.<\/p>\n

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation, bringing together leaders from business, government, academe, and civil society to help address global challenges through the power of human ingenuity, innovation, and collaboration. WEF’s Unicorn Community is one of three Global Innovator Communities that provide a platform for engaging with public- and private-sector leaders and contributing new solutions to overcome current crises and build future resilience.<\/p>\n

Since inDrive\u2019s launch in the Philippines in 2024, the company has steadily expanded its presence in the country, which it considers one of its fastest-growing mobility markets in Southeast Asia. In 2025, market intelligence firm Sensor Tower ranked inDrive among the most-downloaded travel apps in the country and the second-most-downloaded ride-hailing app globally.<\/p>\n

To further support the local community, inDrive has worked with institutions to help address transportation, safety, and public welfare needs. The company recently partnered with the Department of Health (DOH) to promote smoke- and vape-free rides, encouraging healthier commuting environments for both passengers and drivers.<\/p>\n

inDrive has also strengthened its engagement with other government institutions through its partnerships with the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) to support skills development initiatives and safer mobility for all. These collaborations reflect the company\u2019s broader approach to innovation, combining technology and human collaboration to create real-world impact.<\/p>\n

\u201cJoining the World Economic Forum\u2019s Unicorn Community is an important milestone for inDrive as we continue to scale globally and increase our impact,\u201d said Arsen Tomsky, Founder and CEO of inDrive. \u201cOur mission has always been to challenge injustice by giving people more control over their choices. We look forward to contributing to the Forum\u2019s dialogue on building more inclusive, transparent, and equitable digital economies, especially across fast-growing and<\/p>\n

underserved markets.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Philippines is one of Southeast Asia\u2019s most dynamic mobility markets, with commuters and drivers navigating evolving economic realities every day,\u201d said Sofia Guinto, Country Manager of inDrive Philippines. \u201cBeing part of the World Economic Forum\u2019s Unicorn Community allows us to bring Philippine market perspectives into global conversations on fair, accessible, and people-centered mobility. It also reinforces our commitment to developing solutions that respond to the real needs of Filipino commuters and partner drivers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Through its participation in the Unicorn Community, inDrive will work alongside global leaders to explore new approaches to urban mobility and economic inclusion, bringing perspectives from frontier and emerging markets into global conversations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
