    Source: International Online 2013-07-04 World Intellectual Property Organization jointly released the 2013 global innovation index report in Geneva on July 1 Switzerland and Sweden continue to rank in the top two global innovation indexes, with China ranking 35th and Hong Kong seventh, according to the report The 2013 global innovation index was jointly written by Cornell University, INSEAD and WIPO By analyzing 84 indicators such as the level of key universities, venture capital and human resources, the report evaluates the innovation capacity of 142 economies around the world The report shows that despite the impact of the economic crisis, both high-income countries and emerging countries have increased investment in R & D and have achieved positive results since 2010 "The 2013 global innovation index shows the state of innovation in the world today," said sumitra Duta, a Cornell University professor and co-author of the report The top 25 countries are located in various regions of the world, including North America, Europe, Asia, Oceania and the Middle East While high-income countries are at the top of the list, some emerging countries have also seen an increase in their innovation capacity and achievements " According to the report, Switzerland and Sweden continue to rank in the top two places, and both countries rank in the top 25 in a number of innovation indexes, showing a very balanced innovation capacity The United Kingdom, the Netherlands and the United States ranked third to fifth, with the United States rising five places from 10th last year, mainly due to the strong growth of strong education base and knowledge intensive industries The report also points out that low - and middle-income countries, including China, Costa Rica and Senegal, are more dynamic in innovation than their peers, but still fail to take the lead in the global innovation index "The innovation index shows that there are differences in innovation capabilities around the world," said Bruno Longman, one of the authors of the report and head of the European Innovation Program at INSEAD This year and last year's top 10 are the same countries, but there are some changes in the ranking This shows that there are invisible obstacles to the lower ranking countries not being able to enter the front row But there is also good news for countries called "innovation learners," which are showing rapid progress and growth in the field of innovation and are striving to be better innovators " According to the 2013 global innovation index, China ranks 35th, down one place from 34th in 2012 Breaking through the barriers in innovation and encouraging the formulation of innovation policies are urgent issues for China to solve However, Professor Duta still affirmed China's achievements in Innovation: "China has only been a middle-income country for three years, and has made outstanding performance in three years China's universities rank 9th in the index and 16th in high-tech manufacturing So I think China has made outstanding achievements and is moving in the right direction " The global innovation index was founded by the European Business School in 2007 and is published once a year, with six reports released this year Francis Gauri, director general of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), stressed that innovation plays an important role in global economic growth The purpose of creating innovation index is not to rank, but to provide reference and suggestions for global policy makers: "innovation is the main contributor to economic growth and the key to global economic success We believe that the importance of the global innovation index is that it can promote the development of global innovation policies and provide guidance to countries "
