The most innovative countries in the world. Despite what we may think, innovation is influenced by several unseen factors, from the institutional environment and high-tech exports to research talent and entrepreneurship culture. The World Intellectual Property Organisation put together the 2023 Global Innovation Index (GII) using seven pillars and 80 indicators to assess a country’s innovative strength. (seen on the top left of the image). For the 13th consecutive year, Switzerland was named the world’s most innovative country. Among the key factors underscoring its rank are its policies for doing business and its scale of patent applications. Its world-class research institutions and skilled workforce are also key ingredients in fostering innovation. Sweden ranks second, rising above the U.S. this year, excelling in business sophistication, knowledge-intensive employment, and researchers per capita. While the U.S. ranked third overall, it saw the highest scores in venture capital received, global corporate research and development (R&D) investors, and total unicorn value. Of the 1,206 global unicorns as of April 2023, the U.S. was home to 54% of the total.
