LG Electronics has been named a Thomson Reuters 2011 Top 100 Global Innovator, recognised for its achievements as one of the world’s most innovative companies. This accolade proves LG’s position as a leader of the consumer technology industry and sector innovator, reflecting the company’s ongoing contribution to technology development.

The Thomson Reuters 2011 Top Global Innovators program evaluates performance in three areas: companies that invent on a significant scale, work on developments that are acknowledged as innovative by others around the world, and whose inventions are globally protected due to their importance.

Stephen Gater, Consumer Electronics Marketing Director, LG UK commented: “LG is committed to developing products that enhance the consumer experience and suit people’s every day needs. This recognition from Thomson Reuters is fantastic, as it shows that as a global innovator we’re one of the best and we know that there’s even more to come!”

“Innovation is a means of growth and prosperity for companies seeking to overcome sluggish economies and achieve competitive advantages,” said David Brown, president of the IP Solutions business of Thomson Reuters. “We salute the Thomson Reuters 2011 Top 100 Global Innovator companies and their leaders for the innovative spirit they foster and their commitment to protecting intellectual assets.”
