Last but not least: praise for innovative Switzerland
Switzerland is the most innovative country in the world. In the ranking based on the Global Innovation Index, Switzerland moved up from fourth place last year to first place. Although Switzerland did not achieve the best result in any single criterion, it performed strongly overall.
The Global Innovation Index records both the framework conditions and the actual innovation performance of a country. Although Switzerland does not achieve the best result in any individual criterion, it impresses with strong results across all categories. These include stable political and economic conditions, very good education, high expenditure on research and development, an efficient infrastructure, the high demands of the domestic market and, above all, the ability to translate these strengths into successful innovations. The initiators of the ranking, Booz&Company and Business School Insead, write this on Presseportal.ch. The report on the innovation capacity and innovation performance of 125 countries was presented today, Thursday.
In the ranking of the most innovative countries compiled on the basis of the Global Innovation Index, Switzerland, Sweden and Singapore are the top nations. The top ten also includes four other European countries: Finland (5), Denmark (6), the Netherlands (9) and the UK (10). They are joined by Hong Kong (4), the USA (7) and Canada (8).
