Global Innovation Index

Overall Score
World Ranking

The Global Innovation Index (GII) is an annual ranking of countries by their capacity for, and success in, innovation. It is published by Cornell University, INSEAD, and the World Intellectual Property Organization, in partnership with other organizations and institutions and is based on both subjective and objective data derived from several sources, including the International Telecommunication Union, the World Bank and the World Economic Forum. The index was started in 2007 by INSEAD and World Business, a British magazine. The GII is commonly used by corporate and government officials to compare countries by their level of innovation.

The GII is computed by taking a simple average of the scores in two sub-indices, the Innovation Input Index and Innovation Output Index, which are composed of five and two pillars respectively.

  • Innovation Input Sub-Index Institutions - Human capital and research, Infrastructure, Market sophistication, and Business sophistication.
  • Innovation Output Sub-Index - Knowledge and technology outputs, Creative outputs

The Index provides detailed innovation metrics for over 130 economies that represent 92% of the world’s population and 97% of the world’s GDP.
