The Global 100 Innovators List is a qualitative list and not a ranking. While there are countless factors to measure the impact of individuals and organizations, the Global 100 Innovators list focuses on an individual’s focus on innovation as a method to solve for x.

While there is no official ranking, Ideagen honors Satya Nadella of Microsoft as the Global Innovator of the Year. The reveal took place at Microsoft’s Reactor in San Francisco, a fitting place to honor the company’s luminary.
