Amsterdam, the Netherlands – Royal Philips
(NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, has
again been recognized as a Derwent Top 100 Global Innovator™ in
Clarivate Analytics’ annual analysis of the global innovation
ecosystem. The Derwent Top 100 Global Innovators report
identifies the world’s most innovative organizations, those that
successfully develop valuable patented inventions with strong
commercialization potential based on their market reach and impact
on other downstream inventions [1]. Philips has successively won a
place on this prestigious list for the last seven years.
“Philips’ innovation strength is powering our drive to provide
integrated solutions that improve people's health across the health
continuum,” said Frans van Houten, CEO of Royal Philips. “I am
pleased that we have once again been recognized, for the 7th
consecutive year, as a Derwent Top 100 Global Innovator by
Clarivate Analytics. I remain convinced that our ongoing commitment
to innovation and R&D, combined with our sense of purpose and
culture of customer centricity, will continue to drive our mission
to make the world healthier and more sustainable.”
Philips’ EUR 1.9 billion R&D program has resulted in the
introduction of many successful innovations, including the new
Incisive CT imaging platform for radiology departments, helping
them to improve the patient and staff experience, enable smart
clinical decision-making and increase efficiency, and the Ingenia
Ambition 1.5T MRI system, which enables helium-free operations
while delivering superb image quality. Philips also launched the
new IntelliVue MX750 and MX850 patient monitors, which feature a
wide range of measurements and analytics together with innovative
new cybersecurity capabilities. In oral care, the company rolled
out its connected Sonicare ExpertClean – a new smart power
toothbrush that delivers superior oral care results with sonic
technology and deep clean brushing modes.
