Japan maintains its position as
the biggest contributor of Top 100 entities with 38 organizations
named followed by the United
States with 17, two less than in 2023. Asia continues to extend its leadership in the
global innovation ecosystem with 62 organizations listed in 2024,
four more than in 2023. Taiwan has
11 organizations named, South
Korea has eight, three more than in 2023, and Mainland China
five, one more than last year. In Europe, Germany has seven organizations named,
France has six, Switzerland has four, Netherlands has three and Sweden has one.
Industry sectors: Industrial segments have increased
representation in this year's list, a trend seen in last year's
report. Industrial systems saw a significant increase (+4)
alongside Semiconductors (+2) and Software, media, and fintech
(+1). However, momentum has not been uniform, with decreases
observed across several segments this year. Chemicals and materials
declined (-3), as did Industrial conglomerates (-2).
Gordon Samson, President,
Intellectual Property, Clarivate, said, "To feature as a Top 100
Global Innovator is no mean feat as maintaining an edge in the
innovation ecosystem is harder than ever. Organizations must
balance experimentation and risk with discipline and reward. We
measure and rank innovative performance in a dynamic and thorough
way, using live thresholds of differentiation. At Clarivate, we
think forward by analyzing the quality of ideas, their potency and
their impact to identify the world's top innovators, and this year
we're revealing the ranking of these innovators for the first
time."
Other key findings from the 2024 report include:
- Two companies awarded Top 100 status for the first time:
Taiwan electronics company
Coretronic and Japan precision
tool manufacturer Disco.
- Three companies re-enter the Top 100: Tencent, Daikin Industries, and Zeiss.
- 18 all-time recipient organizations retained Top 100 Global
Innovator status: Samsung Electronics, Honda, Toyota, GE, LG
Electronics, Panasonic, Sony, Hitachi, Toshiba, Ericsson, Qualcomm,
Dow, Fujitsu, Boeing, Shin-Etsu Chemical, Honeywell, NEC, and
Roche.
- A look at the bigger picture, based on the Top 1,000 entities,
suggests continued growth in the Asia-Pacific region. Innovators in Mainland
China, Taiwan, Japan and South
Korea are predicted to improve their average rankings.
- Based on predictions from the Top 1,000 organizations, the
government and academic research segment will significantly
contribute to applied innovation.
To build the Top 100 Global Innovators 2024 report, the
Clarivate Center for IP and Innovation Research™ measures the
quality of ideas, their potency and their effect. To achieve this,
we combine modern analytical architecture with over 60 years of
experience from Derwent World Patents Index™ (DWPI™) and Derwent
Patent Citation Index™.

Methodology
The Top 100 Global Innovators uses a complete comparative
analysis of global invention data to assess the strength of every
patented idea, using measures tied directly to their innovative
power. To move from the individual idea strength to identify the
organizations that create them more consistently and frequently,
Clarivate sets two threshold criteria that potential candidates
must meet and then adds a measure of their patented innovation
output over the past five years.

list, see here.
