Xiaomi has moved up two spots from the previous year to be rated 29th on Boston Consulting Group’s (BCG) list of the “50 Most Innovative Companies of 2023.”
Xiaomi claims that the accreditation is an acknowledgement that the firm prioritises innovation, devotes resources and personnel to it, and tries to turn resources into outcomes.
In addition to this Xiaomi’s research and development (R&D) expenses increased by 17.7% in the first quarter of this year compared to the same period last year, totalling RMB4.1 billion. About 16,500 people worked in R&D as of March 31, 2023, which was more than 50% of Xiaomi‘s workforce. As of March 31, 2023, the company’s R&D activities have resulted in more than 32,000 patents being issued globally. Moreover, over RMB20 billion is expected to be invested in R&D overall in 2023.

Over 1,200 people work in the AI industry, and a team based on the AI Lab Foundation Model was formally founded in April. It will keep growing user scenarios relating to AI, making the most of technological developments, and looking into collaboration prospects.
