Bookmark topic
Japan is the world's most innovative nation, followed by Switzerland, the US and Sweden, according to a new report from the Economist Intelligence Unit.
The Economist Intelligence Unit compiled a ranking of 82 economies based on their level of innovation in 2002-06 and, predicted how the ranking would change in 2007-11. The top four will maintain their positions, according to the forecast, while China will move up five places to 54th and Mexico will climb six places to 39th.
The aims of the study were to analyse the importance of innovation, then determine which countries innovate the best and why. To achieve this, the Economist Intelligence Unit compiled the ranking and also conducted a survey of 485 senior executives worldwide on their opinions regarding innovation. Answers from the survey were used to set the weightings for the factors that drive innovation and to examine how and where companies innovate.
