The battle is on

• In the 2010 Bloomberg BusinessWeek annual rankings of Most Innovative Companies, 15 of the Top 50 are Asian—up from just five in 2006. In fact, for the first time since the rankings began in 2005, the majority of corporations in the Top 25 are based outside the U.S.

• The extended Top 50 list is dominated by companies from Europe, Asia, and, in another first, South America (Petrobrás of Brazil at No. 41). China's rise is biggest. As an exemple a year ago its only representative was PC-maker Lenovo Group at 46 now 29. The age of Asian innovation has begun.
