Samsung trails Apple and Google in list of most innovative tech companies

Since 2005 the Boston Consulting Group has been drawing up an annual list of most innovative companies and it has now issued the list for 2015 which features Apple in the top spot followed by Google and Tesla in second and third place respectively. Samsung has been placed in fifth position just behind Microsoft, whereas Toyota, BMW, Gilead Sciences, Amazon and Daimler occupy places from 6th to 10th.

Samsung has been in the top three in the past but this time around it loses to newcomer Tesla, the electric car company, which released Autopilot semi-autonomous driving features for its cars earlier this year. There's not much change at the top as Apple continues its eleven-year streak of being at the top of this list, while Google holds on to second place for the second consecutive year. Samsung has slid from last year's 3rd place on the list of most innovative companies to fifth place in this year, even losing out to Microsoft in the process.
