This week, we celebrated something essential at Thales: the people behind innovation. Receiving the 2026 Top 100 Global Innovators recognition by Clarivate is a strong signal. But beyond the award, it is above all a tribute to those who make it possible every day. Our researchers. Those who explore, test, challenge, pushing every day the boundaries of what is possible. Different paths. Same mindset: curiosity, rigour, and a deep commitment to advancing science. It was also an honour to share this moment with Clarivate as well as leading figures of the scientific and innovation ecosystem. At Thales, innovation is not a concept. It is a collective effort, driven by people who turn science into impact. #Thales #Research #Innovation #Clarivate Ed White Carlotta Ceriani Peter Thelen Patrice Caine Philippe Keryer Peggy Nahmany Marko Erman Bernhard Quendt Veronique Guegan Katarzyna Kapusta-Dedieu Manuel Bibes Isabella Boventer Julie Grollier
Strong recognition. What is often underestimated is the gap between innovation and operational reality. Turning a concept into something that works every day, under constraints, at scale — that’s where a big part of the challenge (and value) really is.
A well-deserved recognition. Behind every breakthrough is the dedication, curiosity, and discipline of the people driving it, great to see that collective effort being celebrated.
Congratulations to Thales on being recognized among the Top 100 Global Innovators 2026. Innovation and technological advancement remain key drivers in shaping the future of aerospace, defense, and security capabilities. Well deserved recognition for the teams behind these achievements.
Congratulations for the awards Thales
Congratulations to the whole Thales team! This kind of recognition means a lot more when it's built on the work of researchers who show up and push boundaries every single day.
