Independently Forged Visions:
The majority of disruptors, a remarkable 40 out of 50, embarked on their innovation journey from independent foundations. Guided by visionary leaders with a passion to make a difference, these disruptors, including the exceptional Dutch 3D printer supplier Ultimaker, started from ground zero, challenging established players like GE and HP.
Ultimaker’s inception at the ProtoSpace FabLab in Utrecht exemplifies the potency of independent foundations, propelling them to challenge industry norms and redefine technological landscapes.
Incubated Innovations:
10% of the Global Disruption 50 trace their roots to research institutes, leveraging initial technology developed within these academic environments. Companies like Saluda Medical and QuantumCTek emerged as global pioneers in smart neuromodulation therapy and Quantum Communication, respectively, after incubation in research institutes such as Australia’s Information Communications Technology Center of Excellence and the University of Science and Technology of China.
Saluda Medical’s journey from research excellence in Australia’s ICT Center to commercialization showcases the transformative power of academic incubation in driving innovation.
Spin-offs from Tech Giants:
Another 10% of disruptors are spin-offs from established tech giants, inheriting technologies and gaining unique market advantages from their inception. Companies like Resideo, Advansix, Kioxia, SVOLT, and Cerence, with origins from entities like Honeywell, Toshiba, Great Wall Motor, and Nuance, exemplify the evolution and continuous innovation of spin-off disruptors.
Resideo and Advansix, born from the legacy of Honeywell, and Kioxia, inheriting semiconductor prowess from Toshiba, highlight the strategic advantages gained by spin-offs in the innovation landscape.
The Patsnap 2023 Global Disruption 50, with their varied origins from independent foundations, academic incubation, and spin-offs from tech giants, exemplify the diverse pathways to innovation excellence. For a comprehensive analysis and deeper insights, explore our 2023 Global Innovation Report and witness the innovative tapestry woven by disruptors redefining the future of global innovation.
