Global Innovation Index 2015

In a notice (here) on 17 September 2015 WIPO released the Global Innovation Index 2015. The WIPO website page for the GII is here while the main GII page is here. The WIPO page states:

The Global Innovation Index (GII) ranks the innovation performance of 141 countries and economies around the world, based on 79 indicators. The GII is co-published by WIPO, Cornell University and INSEAD.

The GII 2015 explores the impact of innovation-oriented policies on economic growth and development. High-income and developing countries alike are seeking innovation-driven growth through different strategies. Some countries are successfully improving their innovation capacity, while others still struggle.

The main GII website allows the full report to be downloaded and read at your leisure (from here). The infographics page (here) is brightly coloured and provides lots of easily read information - not least of which are honourable mentions for Saudi Arabia (coming in third overall as a leader in innovation in the Northern Africa and Western Asia region) and the United Arab Emirates (as the leader in cluster developments).

The rankings page (here) allows the reader to filter by region and sort by each part of the report (covering everything from Institutions to School Life Expectancy).

There is comment here from Gulf News.
