About the Global Innovation Index
The Global Innovation Index (GII) 2025 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.
The GII 2025 on the title of “Innovation at a Crossroads: Charting the Future” offers a unique lens to examine how these forces are influencing global innovation, investment flows, research collaboration, and the diffusion of breakthrough technologies.
This year’s GII ranks the innovation performance of close to 140 economies, showcasing their innovation strengths and weaknesses.
