The World's 50 Most Innovative Companies

Meet the companies that make up this year's list, as determined by BusinessWeek and the Boston Consulting Group

Our ranking of the World's Most Innovative Companies, a collaboration with the innovation practice of the Boston Consulting Group, is our most global list ever. It's also determined by a broader set of data than in the past. In addition to the votes cast in our annual survey—which receive the heaviest weighting in our results—we also weighed companies' three-year margin growth, revenue growth, and total shareholder return*. The result: Plenty of new names, including Tata Group, Nintendo (NTDOY), and Reliance Industries.
