汤森路透集团-历史
路透社于1851年在伦敦成立， 1865年更名为路透电报公司。1916年重组为私营公司。自上世纪八十年代起，路透社迅速发展，拓宽了商务产品的范围，同时扩大了其传媒、金融与经济的全球讯息采集网络。1994年，推出路透金融电视服务，为交易员提供即时市场动态。路透社与道琼斯在1999年宣布合并其在公司和专业市场的互动商业服务。

汤姆森公司的前身为1934年罗伊•汤姆森在加拿大收购的当地一家报纸The Timmins Press。其在1959年并购了英国上市公司Kemsley Group，且将其并入Scottish Television与The Scotsman。

上世纪六十年代，汤姆森扩展了其出版领域，成立英国汤姆森出版公司(Thomson Publication UK)并收购了伦敦泰晤士报(The Times)。1978年，汤姆森重组其英国金融业务，成立国际汤姆森集团（International Thomson Organisation Limited)。1989年，汤姆森报业和国际汤姆森集团合并成立汤姆森集团（The Thomson Corporation）。此后，公司逐渐退出了石油与天然气开发、旅游业，以及百货公司业。

上世纪九十年代中期，汤姆森对专业信息服务开始进一步投资。1996年，它成功收购了西区出版公司(West Publishing Company)，标志着向信息服务商迈进的第一步。

2007年5月15日，汤姆森公司与路透社宣布合并计划，Woodbridge（汤姆森家族企业）持有53%的新公司股份。2008年4月17日，汤姆森公司与路透社正式合并，汤森路透诞生。

汤森路透集团-在中国
刘振刚局长会见汤森路透集团知识产权事业部总裁路透社在中国的运营始于1871年。目前，汤森路透在整个中国雇用了超过1500名员工，在中国大陆的雇员总人数超过900人，在北京、上海、深圳、广州、香港和台湾均设有办事处。

最近，汤森路透在北京中关村地区增设了其第一家全资研发中心。

2008年，汤姆森科技(Thomson Scientific)庆祝其在中国运营10周年。汤姆森科技是中国国家知识产权局的合作伙伴，为专利审查提供关键工具。它还同中国科学院合作主办了中国科学引文数据库，是第一家用英文提供中国实用新型专利注册信息全部内容的专利信息提供商；其客户包括中国科学院和国家图书馆。

“中国有强劲和平衡的经济基础，汤森路透则有避险和均衡的资产组合，汤森路透的利益与中国经济发展与世界经济发展的利益休戚与共。”格罗瑟对其中国市场业务相当乐观。

“在中国，路透社很有知名度。在新中国成立后，第一位被允许赴中国进行采访的外国记者，就是路透社的记者，去年我们和新华社还共同庆祝了60年合作。”他告诉记者，其实近十年他已经来过中国多次，亲眼目睹了中国发生的巨大变化，“我们的办公室和整个金融界就是很好的例证。这些变化是很好的故事题材，我想路透已经把这些新闻准确和公正地传播给整个世界。”

“在中国，路透社很有知名度。新中国成立后，第一位被允许赴中国进行采访的外国记者，就是路透社的记者。今天我们的中国业务发生了新的变化，我们不仅仅是知名的通讯社和金融服务机构，路透最为擅长的是我们了解专业人士需要什么、他们需要用哪种软件从事金融、法律、科学、财税、能源、大宗商品和媒体方面的工作。我们的信息科技水平是世界一流的，而且我们能够将它变成专业人士方便的工具。我们相信我们的服务刚好符合中国目前的需求。”[2]
