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 organisations and institutions,[1]:333 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.[2]:203 The index was started in 2007 by INSEAD and World Business,[2]:203 a British magazine. The GII is commonly used by corporate and government officials to compare countries by their level of innovation.[3]
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. Each of these pillars describe an attribute of innovation, and comprise up to five indicators, and their score is calculated by the weighted average method.[4]
Below are the top 30 countries according to the GII 2017 rankings. Among the top 30 countries, all are high-income countries, with the exception of China, which is the only upper-middle income country to be among the most innovative, according to the report.[5]
