About the Global Innovation Index
The GII 2025 ranks the innovation performance of around 140 economies and takes the pulse of innovation against a background of global realignments, sluggish economic growth of the leading multinationals, but also technological breakthroughs, and evolving regulatory landscapes which shape how ideas emerge, spread, and scale globally.
Since 2007, the GII has been an invaluable reference for countries wanting to develop new innovation and economic policy strategies and a tool for improving innovation metrics.
The GII is published by WIPO in partnership with the Portulans Institute.
