In its ninth edition, the GII has established itself as a leading reference on innovation and a valuable bench-marking tool for decision-makers around the world.
Innovation plays a key role as a driver of economic growth and prosperity. The GII seeks to improve the way innovation is measured and understood. It recognizes the need for a broad vision of innovation, applicable to developed and emerging economies alike, and includes indicators that go beyond traditional measures of innovation, such as the level of research and development.

Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands and the United States of America were the five most-innovative nations last year – who are the leaders this year?
