Hurun Report Chairman and Chief Researcher Rupert Hoogewerf said: "The Global Unicorn List seeks to identify the world's most successful start-ups. These companies are leading a new generation of disruptive technologies and attracting the best young talents in the world."

Being a unicorn is the best recognition for a startup. This ranking means that the growth and development of Keenon Robotics have been recognized worldwide.
