This prize acknowledges exceptional innovation performance measured by the number of patents granted to companies in Austria between January 2021 and November 2022, including data from all patent offices worldwide. This year, 318 Austrian companies have been recognized for their outstanding innovation in at least one of the 35 technology fields defined by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
