The essential link between publishers, librarians and researchers.
Clarivate Plc  has released The Top 50 Universities Powering Global Innovation report, analysing the role of research in shaping global industrial innovation and societal impact, using data and expert insights derived from academic research and patent citations.
Drawing on 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 organisations on the Top 100 Global Innovators 2024 list.
Key findings include:
Gordon Rogers, report author and Senior Manager, Data Science at the Institute for Scientific Information at Clarivate, said: “Groundbreaking ideas driving the world’s most innovative companies often originate from academic research. Our report demonstrates that by fostering collaboration between academia and industry, we can fuel technological advancements, providing solutions to societal challenges in healthcare, sustainability, and economic development.”
Professor Deborah Prentice, Vice-Chancellor, University of Cambridge, which is number 6 on the list, said: “Cambridge has a thriving community of spin-outs, start-ups and partnerships that demonstrates how academia and industry can work together to transform ideas into real-world impact. The University is key to this, and we are developing hugely ambitious plans that will transform the UK economy and reinforce the UK’s status as a leader in global innovation.”
Emmanuel Thiveaud, Senior Vice President, Research and Analytics at Clarivate said: “This paper represents the next step in our commitment to develop a responsible framework for evaluating the societal impact of research. The insights will inform our forthcoming Web of Science Research Intelligence platform, a transformational, academic AI-native solution that empowers institutions to expand research assessment beyond traditional publication metrics to better measure societal impact.”
