Key Insights
- •Small and mid-sized economies can rank very highly on innovation outputs, not just large economies.
- •Innovation outputs vary widely across regions, reflecting differences in R&D systems, industry structure, and creative sectors.
- •Because it focuses on outputs, the metric can highlight economies that ‘punch above their weight’ relative to inputs.

About This Statistic
The Global Innovation Index (GII) publishes a country-by-country “Innovation Output Sub-Index” score, capturing tangible results of innovation such as knowledge & technology outputs (e.g., patents, high-tech production, knowledge diffusion) and creative outputs (e.g., intangible assets, creative goods & services, online creativity).
Because it focuses on outputs rather than inputs, this metric is a useful way to compare how effectively different economies translate education, R&D, investment, and institutions into measurable innovation results. Scores are published annually for a large set of economies, enabling global comparison and year-to-year tracking.
