GLOBAL INNOVATION INDEX 2024 – FRANCE MAKES THE TOP 20

The 17th edition of the Global Innovation Index (GII) – the global benchmark that rates the performance of countries by “their capacity for, and success in, innovation” – has just been published by the World Intellectual Property Organization, in partnership with the Portulans Institute, various private partners and a network of universities (Source: WIPO).

The 2024 rankings are based on 81 indicators of innovation and feature 133 competing economies (assessed according to their innovation ecosystem performance).

Once again this year, France has secured its spot among the top 20 most innovative economies, placing 12th in the rankings.

However, the leader’s spotlight remained on Switzerland who has maintained its grip at the top of the leaderboard for 14 years, ahead of 2nd-placed Sweden (runner-up also in 2023) and 3rd-placed United States of America (3rd also in 2023).
