Davos 2026: AI — Mid-Market's Star Hour

A World Economic Forum (WEF) analytical report dated January 19, 2026, argues that the Mid-Market will be the main beneficiary of AI adoption. Analysts call this "AI’s mid-market moment." Unlike sluggish giants, mid-sized companies possess sufficient agility for the rapid integration of agentic systems.

The WEF urges policymakers to support this specific segment as it provides the majority of employment. With technology democratization (accessible APIs, open-source models), mid-sized businesses for the first time in history acquire a technological weapon equal in power to the arsenal of multinational corporations.
