The fact that Roche and Bayer top the list is due to their recent acquisitions, investments and patents in the AI field, according to CB Insight. Based on the ranking system's three measures of talent, execution and innovation, Roche and Bayer are the only companies on the list to score five out of five in the innovation category. Among the top 10 is also Swedish-British AstraZeneca.
