About This Dataset
Countries by Global Innovation Index 2024
This chart compares eight selected economies using WIPO’s Global Innovation Index 2024 scores. It is a selection from the published ranking, not the complete global top ten. Scores are index points, not percentages of people or businesses innovating.
The 2024 edition combines 78 indicators of innovation inputs and outputs. Roughly 80% of its underlying observations are from 2022 and 2023, so the edition year does not mean every observation was collected in 2024.
Higher scores rank first. The table retains the eight economies originally covered by this page and uses their published 2024 scores.
Use the index as a broad comparison. It does not establish which policy caused a score, and changes in data coverage and methodology limit simple comparisons between editions.
