Three companies based in Tianhe have made the list of Hurun Future Unicorns: Global Gazelles Index 2025, which was released by the Hurun Research Institute recently.

The list includes start-ups from around the world that were founded in the 2000s, have not yet been listed on a public exchange, and are most likely to become unicorns, meaning they will hit a valuation of at least $1 billion, by 2028.

Among those from Tianhe, two companies hail from the software and internet industry, highlighting the district’s exceptional "soft power”.
