2013 Thomson Reuters's top 100 global innovators study
2013 Thomson Reuters's top 100 global innovators study
Scientific Research Centers dropped sharply in their representation on this year’s list, the majority of which were lost from S. Korea. Absent from this year’s list are Government Agencies. This is not an indication that such organizations are not innovating, but rather that other sectors are innovating at a faster rate for the period covered.
