Innovation Index Country Ranking - 2018

Line chart and statistics of the 2018 global innovation index (GII) as calculated by INSEAD and the World Intellectual Property Organization. In the top 50 ranked countries, 39 or 78% are HI economies, only 8 or 16% are UM (upper-middle income), and 3 or 6% are LM (lower-middle income). Seven small countries appear among the top ranked ten nations, with Switzerland at the topmost rank. Three heavyweights manage to sneak among them: the United Kingdom number 4, the United States number 6, and Germany number 9.

¹ For previous years, see Innovation Score Lists. However, rankings are not fully comparable across different years, because the number of countries covered by the survey varies.
² GII (Global Innovation Index) (0-100) rests upon two sub-indices, the Innovation Input Sub-Index and the Innovation Output Sub-Index, each built around several pillars. The overall GII is the simple average of the Input and Output Sub-Indices.
³ World Bank Income Group Classification : LI = low income; LM = lower-middle income; UM = upper-middle income; and HI = high income.
⁴ United Nations Classification: EUR = Europe; NAC = Northern America; LCN = Latin America and the Caribbean; CSA = Central and Southern Asia; SEAO = South East Asia and Oceania; NAWA = Northern Africa and Western Asia; SSF = Sub-Saharan Africa.
