For the second year running, Switzerland, Sweden, and Singapore lead
in overall innovation performance according to the Global Innovation
Index 2012 (GII), published by INSEAD and the World Intellectual
Property Organization (WIPO).
The report ranks 141 countries/economies on the basis of their
innovation capabilities and results. The list of overall GII top 10
performers has changed little from last year. Switzerland, Sweden, and
Singapore are followed in the top ten by Finland, the United Kingdom,
the Netherlands, Denmark, Hong Kong (China), Ireland, and the United
States of America. Canada is the only country leaving the top 10 this
year, mirroring weakening positions on all main GII innovation input
and output pillars.
The report shows that the U.S.A. continues to be an innovation leader
but also cites relative shortfalls in areas such as education, human
resources and innovation outputs as causing a drop in its innovation
ranking.
The leaders in their regions are: Switzerland in Europe, the US in
Northern America, Singapore in South East Asia and Oceania, Israel in
Northern Africa and Western Asia, Chile in Latin America and the
Caribbean, India in Central and Southern Asia, and Mauritius in
Sub-Saharan Africa. Among low-income economies the leader is Kenya.
Estonia is leader in the former USSR countries being the 19th. Russia
is the 51st. Armenia is ranked the 69th being the leader in the
region. Georgia is the 71st, Azerbaijan 89th, Iran is 104th and Turkey
is the 73d.
