Delta honoured as a Top 100 Global Innovator by Clarivate

Delta has been selected as a Top 100 Global Innovator 2022 by Clarivate, a global leader in providing trusted information to accelerate innovation. Over the years, Delta has built an environment that rewards employees’ ingenuity, such as the Delta Innovation Award, which currently recognises intellectual property, new product, manufacturing practice, as well as business model or process every year.

Ed White, chief analyst and vice president of IP and innovation research at Clarivate, said: “We congratulate Delta Electronics for the first-time inclusion, as predicted in our Innovators to Watch report in 2020. Delta showcases success footprints and coverage in the world economy, as well as the influences on other innovations. The Top 100 Global Innovators 2022 exemplify above-the-bar excellence in innovation. They demonstrate the capabilities, consistency and creativity that are delivering new value and ingenuity for the world.”

Ping Cheng, Delta’s chief executive officer, said: “It is a privilege for Delta, not only to be selected as one of the world’s 100 top innovators by Clarivate, but also to learn from their report that we are the first power systems and industrial automation company within the Greater China region in this selected group. This recognition further validates our commitment to innovation and IP, both nurtured through strategic investment of approximately 8% of Delta’s annual revenues into R&D (9% in 2020).

“Our 74 R&D centres, which employ over 9,000 engineers worldwide, have accumulated a rich patent war chest in power, industrial automation and building automation technologies, as well as a growing patent portfolio in e-mobility, energy infrastructure and ICT infrastructure. These resources are pillars of our IoT-based smart green solutions for sustainable cities.”
