The Top 100 organizations generate $4.6 trillion USD in annual revenues, representing 4.4% of the global economy
LONDON, March 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Clarivate Plc (NYSE:CLVT), a leading global provider of transformative intelligence, today revealed its 2025 ranked list of Top 100 Global Innovators - the organizations at the forefront of technology research and innovation worldwide.
The Top 100 organizations prioritize innovation as a central part of their business strategy. Their investment levels in science, engineering, product design and problem-solving is, on average, 8.8% of their revenues. Across the Top 100, this was almost $290 billion USD.
New this year: This year, Clarivate analyzes the convergence phenomenon - the integration of various scientific and engineering fields that promote the spread of innovation into products - through five macro-forces: sustainability, wellbeing, mobility, connectivity and automation. Within the top 0.5% of the most critical and valuable protected ideas, convergent inventions, those overlapping between innovation forces, account for almost 40%.
Geographical spread: Eleven countries and regions are identified in this year's list - one more than last year. Japan maintains its position as the biggest contributor to the Top 100 entities, with 33 organizations named, although it has seen a decrease of five since last year. The United States has 18 organizations listed this year, Taiwan has 13, Germany and South Korea both have eight, France has seven, Mainland China has six, Switzerland has three, Netherlands has two, and Sweden and Finland, which is back on the list this year, both have one.
Industry sectors: There has been little change in the industry sector representation compared to 2024, with movements up and down by one or two individual representations. Four industry sectors saw an increase and five declined this year. Electronics and computing equipment continues to have the most Top 100 entities, followed by Semiconductors, Industrial systems, and Automotive.
Gordon Samson, President, Intellectual Property, Clarivate, said, "Being recognized as a Top 100 Global Innovator is a remarkable achievement given the pace of change - since 2000, we've seen an 80-fold increase in the volume of inventions. Competition is more global than ever before, and developments in one region can have a significant global impact. Hyperconnectivity and technological convergence play a pivotal role in driving innovation. The Top 100 organizations target innovation at the deployment and diffusion of technology and knowledge."

The Top 100 Global Innovators rankings are generated by the Clarivate Center for IP and Innovation Research.

Detailed 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 strength of inventions to identifying 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.
