The Dow Chemical Company has been recognised as a Top 100 Global Innovator by Clarivate Analytics for the sixth consecutive year.
Formerly known as the Thomson Reuters Top 100 Global Innovators, the list annually recognises the most innovative organizations in the world.
Dow’s senior vice president and chief technology officer A.N. Sreeram said: ““This is our sixth straight year on the Top 100 Global Innovators list, clear recognition of the continuing strength of Dow’s R&D.
“This recognition is important to us because it recognises impact. It isn’t an award for numbers of patents, it recognises the quality, global reach and impact of our innovation.
“The power of our innovation portfolio translates directly into success for our company, our customers, and for society as a whole.”
The Clarivate Analytics top 100 Global Innovators methodology analyses patent and citation data across four main criteria: volume; success; globalization and influence.
Jay Nadler, CEO of Clarivate Analytics, said: “We believe the power of innovation is a fundamental driver of economic well-being, competitive advantage and success, which represents the heart of our business – to accelerate the pace of innovation through discovery, protection and commercialisation.”
