"Clarivate Identifies Top 50 Universities Powering Global Innovation"


Drawing on a host of Clarivate data – from the Web of Science to Derwent World Patent Index, and Derwent Patents Citation Index – the report highlights how knowledge flows between academia and industry across countries and regions, underscoring the global nature of innovation. The study identifies the top 50 universities named on the academic papers that received the highest number of citations from patents granted to the companies and organizations on the Top 100 Global Innovators 2024 list.

Key findings include:

The top 50 universities powering global innovation are distributed across eleven countries or regions – from Canada to South Korea

  • U.S. universities such as Harvard, Stanford, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) dominate. Harvard leads with its high volume of research outputs, but MIT’s smaller, yet highly impactful publications highlight its exceptional ability to translate research into groundbreaking innovations
  • Strong regional citation patterns emerge, with companies in Eastern Asia and Europe heavily relying on local academic research, while U.S. research is the most globally cited
  • The United Kingdom demonstrates particularly diverse international influence, with its research often serving as a bridge across regions.
  • Five organizations – Roche, Johnson & Johnson, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Samsung Electronics, and Siemens – account for over half (51%) of citations from top innovations to academic research
