These 29 companies have appeared in the Top 100 Global Innovators list every single year since its inception a decade ago. With an average age of a century, the foundational stories of these firms and the themes they teach, endure and resonate today. Company history information was sourced from publicly available web records, including company websites, and best efforts were made to share with organizations for veracity. Break– 1665 — Saint-Gobain In October 1665, King Louis 14th of France granted a charter to minister Jean-Baptiste Colbert for a new glass and mirror making company, the Royal Mirror Glass Factory. With glassmaking expertise in the 17th century monopolized by Venice, the new company brought valuable Venetian glass makers, and their rare knowledge, across the Alps. After 365 years of prosperity and expansion with orders from the royal household (including the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles), today Saint-Gobain is a out global supplier and innovator of high- performance and sustainable materials (including glass) across a broad range of industries including construction, mobility, health and manufacturing. 1875 — Toshiba In 1875 Hisashige Tanaka opened Tanaka Engineering Works in Tokyo, manufacturing telegraphic equipment. Five years later, Ichisuke Fujioka established Hakunetsu-sha & Company, with a focus on developing the first Japanese-designed electric lamps. Later changing its name to Tokyo Electric in 1899, by 1905, Fujioka's firm had formed a partnership with Thomas Edison's General Electric and in 1921 created the world's first double coil incandescent light bulb. In the meantime, Tanaka Engineering Works had renamed as Shibaura Engineering Works. In 1939 the two companies, both members of the Mitsui zaibatsu (a family of companies) and already partnering heavily, merged to form Tokyo Shibaura Electric. In 1984 the company rebranded to the abbreviated name Toshiba. ideas 5 Foreword Saint-Gobain designs, manufactures At a time of great challenges, Our sincere congratulations to and distributes materials and innovation is more than ever at the all other recipients, as well as a solutions for the construction, core of Saint-Gobain’s strategy. strong encouragement for all of mobility, healthcare and other For all our teams around the world, us to continue bringing forward industrial application markets. it is a time of responsibility as science in order to tackle the world's Developed through a continuous well as of exciting and engaging challenges, and we wish to express innovation process, they can be opportunities for the decades immense thanks to Clarivate for found everywhere in our living to come, in full alignment with promoting the importance of places and daily life, providing our purpose, “Making the World innovation through this recognition. wellbeing, performance and safety, a Better Home,” and our taste while addressing the challenges for science and technology. of sustainable construction, resource efficiency and the In quickly evolving and competitive fight against climate change. markets, all our teams are fully mobilized to grasp those innovation We are a 356-year-old company that challenges.

Global Innovators program. 6 1876 — Ericsson Lars Magnus Ericsson opened his small telegraph equipment repair shop on Drottninggatan, central Stockholm in 1876. He soon expanded from small local repair jobs to working for the state railway company, where he began selling his own equipment. In six years, the workshop had expanded to 50 employees and was growing internationally. By 1897, L M Ericsson & Co had multiple factories both in Sweden and abroad and had produced more than 100,000 wall-mounted microphone and hand speaker telephones. 1876 — GE With the storied formation of Thomas Edison's early laboratory in 1876 in Menlo Park, New Jersey, perhaps Edison's greatest innovation was the creation of an institution dedicated to technology commercialization itself. Edison gathered financial stakes in many different corporations over the next 16 years, much of that equity via licensing his patents. The General Electric Company was finally formed in 1892 by the merging of the Thomson- Houston Electric Company (created by less well-known, but equally important GE founders, Elihu Thomson and Edwin Houston), and Edison's own General Electric. Just four years later, GE was an inaugural member of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. 1890 — Emerson Electric John Wesley Emerson was a Union army veteran who provided $50,000 ($1.5m today) and the use of his name to Scottish-born orphans Charles and Alexander Meston. The brothers had patented an alternating current electric motor design and saw the opportunity to connect it to a fan. Opening premises in St. Louis, Missouri, the Emerson Electric Manufacturing Company supplied the United States with some of its first electric fans, bringing blessed relief for many during the humid American summer. While it no longer makes fans, Emerson is still based in St. Louis today, just nine miles from its first workshop downtown. Amongst many products for industrial, commercial and residential customers, it still produces climate technology solutions for hot days. 7 Perpetual inspirationinspir 8 1890 — Dow Bromine is a useful but very reactive element. Originally discovered in the A habit for the new early 19th century, it is found in salt water but is difficult to manufacture. Canadian-born Herbert H. Dow invented the Dow process – a way of electrolytically extracting bromine from brine – and opened the door to the first economical production in quantity. His first attempt at business met with bankruptcy, but settling in Midland, Michigan he opened the Midland Chemical Company in 1890. Looking to diversify both his business and his electrolysis process, but his financial backers being less than enthusiastic, he gained funding from his fellow professors at the Case School Communication technology expands The trade-offs fought against by of Applied Science (now Case Western Reserve University).

  • Commemorative Booklet for the Thirty-Fifth Asilomar Microcomputer Workshop April 15-17, 2009 Programs from the 1975-2009 Worksho
    35 Commemorative Booklet for the Thirty-Fifth Asilomar Microcomputer Workshop April 15-17, 2009 Programs from the 1975-2009 Workshops This file available at www.amw.org AMW: 3dh Workshop Prologue - Ted Laliotis The Asilomar Microcomputer Workshop (AMW) has played a very important role during its 30 years ofexistence. Perhaps, that is why it continues to be well attended. The workshop was founded in 1975 as an IEEE technical workshop sponsored by the Western Area Committee ofthe IEEE Computer Society. The intentional lack of written proceedings and the exclusion of general press representatives was perhaps the most distinctive characteristic of AMW that made it so special and successful. This encouraged the scientists and engineers who were at the cutting edge ofthe technology, the movers and shakers that shaped Silicon Valley, the designers of the next generation microprocessors, to discuss and debate freely the various issues facing microprocessors. In fact, many features, or lack of, were born during the discussions and debates at AMW. We often referred to AMW and its attendees as the bowels of Silicon Valley, even though attendees came from all over the country, and the world. Another characteristic that made AMW special was the "required" participation and contribution by all attendees. Every applicant to attend AMW had to convince the committee that he had something to contribute by speaking during one of the sessions or during the open mike session. In the event that someone slipped through and was there only to listen, that person was not invited back the following year. The decades ofthe 70's and 80's were probably the defining decades for the amazing explosion of microcomputers.
