Ask questions about innovation performance, compare economies and explore the world's leading innovation clusters with WIPO's free AI assistant.
The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) has launched the Global Innovation Index (GII) AI Assistant (Beta). Instead of searching through reports and data tables, you can ask questions in your own words about innovation performance across 139 economies and the world's top 100 innovation clusters.
Launched on November 10 during WIPO's inaugural Global Forum on Intellectual Property (IP) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), the GII AI Assistant (Beta) marks a further step in WIPO's efforts to make its knowledge and data more accessible through AI. By enabling users to explore innovation performance through questions in everyday language, the new tool aims to bring GII evidence closer to policymakers, researchers, businesses, and anyone interested in understanding innovation around the world.
The AI Assistant builds on WIPO's continued efforts to make GII evidence more accessible and useful. Over the years, the GII has evolved beyond its annual rankings to include the world's leading innovation clusters, the Global Innovation Tracker and the GII Innovation Ecosystems and Data Explorer. The new Assistant represents the next step in this evolution, offering a conversational entry point to the GII's published findings and data, while complementing its existing analytical tools.
The Global Innovation Index has become an important tool for countries seeking to understand and strengthen their innovation ecosystems. With the new AI Assistant, we are taking another step towards making this knowledge more accessible, enabling policymakers, researchers and innovators to engage directly with the evidence they need. This is about using AI not simply as a technology, but as a practical means of bringing WIPO's knowledge and services closer to users.
Mr. Marco Alemán, Assistant Director General, WIPO
The Assistant draws on the GII 2026 report through a family of products like the economy and innovation cluster profiles, relying on official data. Its answers include links to the sources, so you can cross-check the information or explore a topic further.
The Assistant is free to use, requires no login, and has no limit on the number of questions. Although the interface and source data are in English, users can ask questions and receive answers in more than 95 languages.
Try the GII AI Assistant (Beta)
What can you ask?
Users can start with a simple question, such as:
- Which are the most innovative economies in the world?
- How does innovation performance compare across regions?
- Where are the world’s leading innovation clusters?
Users can then ask follow-up questions, request information in different formats, including tables, and continue conversations in their preferred language, making it easier to explore and interpret GII findings in an effective way, without replacing the core analysis of the GII family of products.
Why Beta?
This is WIPO's first public release of an AI assistant of this kind. The developers will continue adding data and refining the instructions that guide its answers to improve their usefulness, accuracy, and coverage.
The AI Assistant is being launched as a beta version, allowing WIPO to learn from users' experiences and continuously improve its accuracy, coverage, and usefulness. Future developments may include expanding the knowledge base to cover previous GII editions, opening new possibilities for exploring how innovation performance evolves over time. Users are encouraged to share their experiences, suggestions and any issues they encounter through the "Contact Us" link in the Assistant.
About the Global Innovation Index
Published annually by WIPO, the Global Innovation Index is a leading global resource for measuring innovation performance and supporting evidence-based policymaking. Its 2026 edition benchmarks 139 economies using 79 indicators and identifies the world's top 100 innovation clusters. Beyond the rankings, the GII helps economies assess their innovation strengths and weaknesses, compare performance with regional and income-group peers, and identify opportunities to strengthen their innovation ecosystems. In WIPO's 2025–2026 survey, close to 80 percent of responding Member States reported using the GII to improve innovation policy and data.
