Four of the world's five biggest science and technology clusters are located in East Asia – one in Japan, two in China, one in Republic of Korea and the fifth in the United States – according to an early release from the 2022 edition of WIPO's Global Innovation Index (GII).

Each year, the GII ranks the top-level innovative capacity of around 130 countries and economies around the world. In a pre-release ahead of its official September 29, 2022, global launch, the Global Innovation Index "Science and Technology Cluster" chapter looks to the ground to identify the highest local concentration of science and technology development.

Tokyo-Yokohama is the biggest cluster, followed by the Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Guangzhou (China and Hong Kong, China), Beijing (China), Seoul (Republic of Korea) and San Jose-San Francisco (United States) clusters.
