The 2025 Best Workplaces for Innovators list ranks 100 winners across industries such as entertainment, biotech, consumer packaged goods, marketing, education and healthcare. To be considered, applicants detailed their investment in innovation, internal programs and company culture. Final selections were made by Fast Company ’s editors, who evaluated every application and conducted extensive research to generate a score for each company. A distinguished panel of judges then reviewed the top-rated companies.
"At Arkose Labs, innovation isn't just encouraged, it's essential to our mission of staying ahead of increasingly sophisticated threat actors,” said Arkose Labs Chief Operating Officer Frank Teruel. “We've built an environment where our teams can rapidly iterate on new security solutions, fail fast when needed and ultimately deliver breakthrough protection for the world's most trusted B2C brands.”
“And with the impending impact of agentic AI agents amplifying the AI revolution, our innovation is critical as these adversarial attacks on our customers fundamentally redefine cybersecurity,” Teruel continued. “With agentic AI already in market, and open-source agents around the corner, the fraud floodgates will open, and frankly, most enterprises are shockingly unprepared. This Fast Company recognition validates that our culture of relentless innovation is exactly what it takes to solve the increasingly sophisticated threats that are coming."
Arkose Labs continues to push the boundaries of cybersecurity innovation on its unified platform with game-changing product launches that address enterprise blind spots others can't solve. The company's breakthrough Arkose Edge solution secures the vulnerable API endpoints and digital perimeters that keep 71% of security professionals awake at night, while the revolutionary Arkose Device ID delivers dual-method device tracking that outsmarts even AI-powered attackers. These cutting-edge innovations cement Arkose Labs' position as the security partner of choice for industry titans like Microsoft, Adobe, Meta and leading global banks who demand protection that actually works.
"We don't hire for culture fit at Arkose Labs; we hire for culture add," said Arkose Labs Vice President of People Operations Justin Schiefner. "We seek independent thinkers who take ownership and aren't afraid to challenge the status quo. The golden thread that weaves our global team together is a shared spirit of innovation and creating an environment where both success and failure in pursuit of breakthrough ideas are celebrated. When you bring together diverse perspectives and give people the psychological safety to take risks, innovation becomes inevitable. This recognition from Fast Company reflects what our team members experience every day: a workplace where their boldest ideas can flourish."
“Each year, we’re inspired by the companies and leaders who prove that innovation doesn’t happen by accident—it’s the result of intentional choices to empower people at every level,” says Brendan Vaughan, editor-in-chief of Fast Company. “The organizations on this year’s Best Workplaces for Innovators list show that when you build a culture where creativity and risk-taking are valued, breakthrough ideas inevitably follow.”

The news comes as Joby successfully completed a landmark flight test, becoming the first electric air taxi company to conduct a point-to-point flight in the UAE. On Sunday 9 November, Joby landed its aircraft at Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) following a 17-minute piloted flight from its test facility in Margham, underscoring Joby’s commercial market readiness and ability to operate in shared airspace. Tens of thousands of attendees will have the opportunity to see Joby’s aircraft in action at this week’s Dubai Airshow, with demonstration flights planned for each day of the show.
His Excellency Mattar Al Tayer, Director General, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), stated that “the successful completion of the first crewed flight of the electric aerial taxi marks a new milestone in Dubai’s distinguished record of leadership and innovation. The successful completion by Joby Aviation of the first air taxi flight between two distinct locations underscores the success of RTA’s operational framework for developing Dubai’s aerial mobility ecosystem. This milestone paves the way for a new phase of integration among smart mobility systems across the emirate, further strengthening the confidence of global partners in Dubai’s regulatory and technological environment and establishing it as a leading global platform for future mobility trials.
“RTA is steadily progressing towards the commercial launch of the aerial taxi service in 2026, solidifying Dubai’s position as the city of the future and a global hub for innovative and sustainable urban mobility solutions, combining efficient infrastructure with high quality of life," His Excellency confirmed.
JoeBen Bevirt, founder and CEO of Joby Aviation,said: “From flight demonstrations to infrastructure, we're making incredible progress on all fronts as we look ahead to launching commercial passenger service in Dubai next year. By working alongside the RTA, other government agencies and infrastructure partners, we’ve been able to streamline development of the world’s first air taxi service and are closer than ever to making urban air transport an everyday reality for residents and visitors across the UAE.”
Today’s vertiport announcement brings together three major Dubai property developers - Emaar Properties, Atlantis The Royal, and Wasl Asset Management Group - to deliver a network of valuable and high-traffic sites across the emirate:
Alongside the vertiport at Dubai International Airport, which is set to be completed in the first quarter of 2026, these sites will make up the initial vertiport network for Joby’s air taxi service in Dubai, which is set to launch in 2026.
