For the fourth year in a row Arkema has been ranked by Thomson Reuters among the top 100 global innovators from all sectors of activity.

"Innovation has been at the heart of Arkema's strategy since its creation. We are very proud of this recognition which rewards the work of our R&D teams all around the world, including our recent major work in the field of composites and electronics" explains Thierry Le Hénaff, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Arkema.

The fourth edition of this award ranks France in third place among the countries represented, with 7 companies rewarded.

This Top 100 Global Innovators ranking identifies the most innovation-active companies and research structures. Selection is based on four criteria: rate of success of patent application, global reach of patent portfolio, influence of a patent calculated from the number of citations in trade publications, and volume of patents.
