UK's Innovation Is Second To One!

The UK was recently ranked the second most innovative country in the world according to the 2015 Global Innovation Index (GII).

The GII is an index co-published by Cornell University, INSEAD and the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO). The theme for the 2015 GII was "Effective Innovation Policies for Development" with a particular focus on the impact of policies designed to increase innovation capacity in developing countries. The GII uses 79 indicators across a range of themes to identify and analyse global innovation trends. This year the GII has metrics for 141 economies which represent 95.1 per cent of the world's population and 98.6 per cent of the world's GDP.
