Thomson Reuters has announced its Top 100 Global Innovators for 2011, with Daikin Industries Ltd. among the innovation leaders. The award is given to companies that are considered top innovators based on an objective and scientific analysis of global patent information. The same report also points out that these top innovators lead the way in economic growth and sustained marketability, underscoring Daikin’s place as market leader based on continuous innovation.

Measuring innovation
The Top 100 Global Innovators report applies a methodology developed by Thomson Reuter that measures innovation from an unbiased and scientific perspective via a critical analysis of patent information. Criteria include not only the volume of patents obtained, but also the global reach of these patents – especially to the USA, Japan, Europe and China – as well as the influence these patents have on other companies. In general, the analysis focuses on patents that have contributed to true innovation (in Daikin’s case, new technologies) over the most recent 3 years.

Innovation leads to growth
The Thomson Reuters report equally makes the link between innovation and economic growth. The Top 100 Global Innovators were also world leaders in job creation, revenue creation, R&D investment and share performance. Hence, these are companies that will most probably continue to be market leaders in the years to come. In short, Thomson Reuters sees innovation as the key to sustained marketability.
