Small Companies Are Better at Green Innovation
This according to a recent study by the Small Business Administration. According to SmartGridNews.com:
The report found that while small companies are responsible for about 8% of all U.S. patents, they account for 14% of all green technology patents. . . . [It] notes that the small innovators are 16 times more productive than larger companies from the perspective of patents per employee – and that those patents are cited more often, meaning their innovations are considered more influential and original.
