電子商務巨頭亞馬遜首次進入湯森路透2015年全球創新百強名單，而世界上最大科技服務公司IBM卻未能上榜。
根據最新相關報告表示，亞馬遜憑借在數據中心、設備、電子方法和系統等方面的創新而上榜。
湯森路透2015年全球創新百強名單是基于對專利相關的標準進行深入研究，尋找真正的創新企業。
包括AT&T、IBM、西門子和施樂等在內的27家公司今年未能繼續上榜。
“盡管IBM每年擁有的專利數量經常位居美國榜首，但本榜單不僅評估數量，也評估成功、全球化和影響力，”湯森路透分析師Bob Stembridge表示。
除此之外，報告還顯示，日本和美國依舊是創新的熱點，其中化學、半導體、電子零部件和汽車等行業的創新最多。
值得一提的是，優步和特斯拉也未能上榜。“優步和特斯拉都在創新，但用專利數量、成功、全球化和影響力進行衡量，都不足以上榜，”Stembridge說道。“還有，這兩家公司在2010-2014年這段時間也沒有獲得超過100項的專利技術，從而達到該榜單要求。”
online marketplace Amazon.com Inc made its debut in the 2015 Thomson Reuters Top 100 global innovators list, leaving International Business Machines Corp, the world's largest technology services company, out of the list.
Amazon joins the innovators list for the first time for innovations in data centers, devices, electronic methods and systems, according to its latest report.
The Thomson Reuters Top 100 global innovators program identifies innovators annually through an in-depth analysis based on a series of patent-related metrics that analyze what it means to be truly innovative.
There are 27 companies that are droped from the list this year, including AT&T, IBM, Siemens and Xerox.
"For IBM, although they regularly top the list of U.S. patentees by volume of patents each year, the Top 100 Global Innovators listing evaluates not just volume, but also success, globalization and impact," said Bob Stembridge, analyst with Thomson Reuters.
Besides, Japan and the United States are still innovation hot spots and chemical, semiconductor and electronic components and autos are the top innovative industries, according to the report.
What deserves to be mentioned the most is, Uber and Tesla Motors Inc did not make it to the list. "Both Uber and Tesla do innovate, but not at a sufficient level to feature in the Top 100 list of innovative organizations around the globe as measured by patent metrics of volume, success, globalization and impact. They neither have sufficiently large portfolios to qualify for inclusion with less than 100 granted inventions during 2010-2014," Stembridge said.
