Gordon Samson, president of intellectual property at Clarivate, said: To feature as a Top 100 Global Innovator is no mean feat as maintaining an edge in the innovation ecosystem is harder than ever. Organisations must balance experimentation and risk with discipline and reward.
Delta Electronics shows consistent innovative performance, especially in the influence and success of its inventions in the global market. We congratulate Delta Electronics for being named a Top 100 Global Innovator for three consecutive years.
Karl Yeh, Delta's general counsel, said: Delta places great importance on innovation as we commonly invest close to 8% of our annual revenues in R&D.
