It is the only apparel company and the only Sri Lankan organisation to be recognised. This marks the second consecutive victory for the company at the Clarivate awards.

Clarivate evaluates the most innovative companies in the region. using proprietary data and tools strictly driven by metrics for both patent volume and quality (grant success rate, the extent of globalisation and citations). The criteria used to select the top innovators closely mirrors that of the annual Top 100 Global Innovators, which identifies organisations at the pinnacle of the global innovation landscape.

“We take great pride in this achievement, which reaffirms the status of MAS as a leader in innovation in apparel,” said MAS Twinery director Gihan Philip. “For MAS, however, the best endorsement of our efforts is the transformative impact of our innovations on the lives of people. There are many more exciting developments in the pipeline, with the potential to change the trajectory of the apparel industry globally.”
