Fast Company Recognizes GoPro as One of 50 Most Innovative Companies of 2014

Fast Company has named GoPro as one of The Worlds 50 Most Innovative Companies.GoPro was included in the business publication's prestigious annual list for Letting everyone in on the extreme-sports video action.

If you Google the phrase faith-based businesses, the results point to companies that pursue a religious agenda. But theres another kind of faith in business: the belief that a product or service can radically remake an industry, change consumer habits, challenge economic assumptions. Proof for such innovative leaps is thin, payoffs are long in coming (if they come at all), and doubting Thomases abound. Today, pundits fret about an innovation bubble. Some overvalued companies and overhyped inventions will eventually tumble and money will be lost. Yet breakthrough progress often requires wide-eyed hope.

In this special report on the Worlds Most Innovative Companies, there are plenty of examples to make you a believer (Ive never been more excited about the possibilities ahead of us, Nike CEO Mark Parker recently told me). Our staff has spent more than six months gathering and analyzing data. To generate our list of the 50 Most Innovative Companies--and the accompanying top 10 companies in various sectors--we assessed thousands of enterprises. From all that work, Ive pulled out 12 rising trends. Risk of failure and collapse are always with us. But the culture of innovation across the globe is more robust than ever. We think thats worth celebrating.
