Clarivate says 30 of the top 50 universities driving innovation are U.S.-based
Unfortunately, only four are in the Southeast.
For 13 years, Clarivate, the London-based leading global provider of transformative intelligence, has published the Top 100 Global Innovators list, a compilation of organizations at the forefront of global technology and innovation. The list is developed by the Clarivate Center for Intellectual Property and Innovation Research and is derived from patent data available in the Derwent World Patents Index (DWPI) and Derwent Patents Citation Index.
The 2024 list distills insights from 61 million inventions created by more than 1.1 million innovators and organizations, spotlighting the top 0.01 percent of innovators. From that list, Clarivate develops a listing of the top 50 universities driving innovation worldwide.
Interestingly, while 30 of the 50 universities most cited in patents are U.S.-based, only four are in the Southeast. Duke University is ranked #23 with 1,654 citations followed by the Georgia Institute of Technology at #33 with 1,385 citations, the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill ranked #38 with 1,302 citations, and the University of Texas Austin at #45 with 1,204 citations.
