Philips on yksi maailman johtavista innovatiivisista yhtiöistä

Royal Philips has jumped 20 places to rank 29^th in the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) annual list of the top 50 most innovative companies in the world.

Philips, which has the goal of improving the lives of 3 billion people a year by 2025, is a company driven by innovation. This has been recognized by the ranking, for which the Boston Consulting Group surveyed thousands of senior-level executives to understand more about innovation trends and to identify the most innovative companies in the world.

Philips brings together word-class R&D and design expertise to address many of the longer-term challenges our world faces – a growing need for healthcare, increased focus on personal well-being and rising demand for energy-efficient solutions for example – to create innovative solutions that meet peoples’ needs. 

“For more than 120 years, we have been improving people’s lives with a steady flow of ground-breaking innovations and this shows that our pace in this vital area is increasing. The BCG is a rigorous ranking and I am proud to see our improved performance – it’s a real team effort from the thousands of people at Philips helping to make innovation happen,” said Jim Andrew, Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer, Philips.
