Innova琀椀on Momentum 2024: The Global Top 100 Academics and Public Research While the Top 100 features exclusively corporate entities, several academic and public research innovators have also demonstrated exceptional Innovation Momentum, meeting the same criteria, and we acknowledge their contributions here. A key trend in the academic and public research landscape is the pronounced focus on health care and chemistry among institutes in the U.S. This emphasis reflects the urgent global challenges and opportunities in these fields, ranging from developing new pharmaceuticals and treatments to the advancements in chemical engineering and materials science. The significant patent holdings in these areas by leading universities and research organizations—like the Broad Institute, a partnership between Harvard and MIT partnership, and Mass General Brigham—underline their commitment to tackling complex health and environmental issues. The Broad Institute owns the portfolio with the highest average quality in this category, as indicated by its position on the y-axis of Figure 5. ® Source: LexisNexis PatentSight+™ 15 y Broad Institute 10 Dana-Farber mpact Harvard e I titiv University of Pennsylvania ompe Mass General Brigham C 5 MIT University of California Stanford University Zhejiang ETRI Korea University of Lab Texas System Fraunhofer ‡ x 0 CARDC 0 2500 5000 7500 10000 12500 15000 Portfolio Size ‡China Aerodynamics Research and Development Center Figure 5: Average patent quality (Competitive Impact) versus Portfolio Size of patent owners in the Academics and Public Research sector.
