Reuters Top 100: The World’s Most Innovative Universities – 2017

The most innovative university in the world, for the third consecutive year, is Stanford University. Located in the heart of California’s Silicon Valley, Stanford has long played a key role in the development of our modern networked world: A Stanford professor designed the basic communication standard for the Internet, and university alumni founded some of the biggest tech companies in the world, including Google, Intel, Hewlett-Packard and Netflix.

The University of Washington places seventh place overall on Reuters’ ranking of the World’s Most Innovative Universities, but is the highest-ranked American public university on the list.

For the third-straight year, Reuters ranked the top 100 most innovative universities based on 10 different metrics, including academic papers on research, patent filings and a university’s ability to transform its development and discoveries into real-world commercial impact. Reuters notes that the list "identifies and ranks the educational institutions doing the most to advance science, invent new technologies and power new markets and industries."
