They are now the cornerstone of any vibrant innovation ecosystem. As such, intangible assets should be part of any measure gauging the success of corporate and national innovation ecosystems. The Global Innovation Index (GII) 2022 includes novel data quantifying corporate intangible assets worldwide. This comes in support of a broader effort at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) to better understand and value intangible assets—see, for example, the recent High-Level Conversation on Intangible Asset Finance of WIPO’s IP and Innovation Ecosystems Sector. /project/gii-presentations/ Mon, 17 Oct 2022 00:00:00 +0000 /project/gii-presentations/ Objective To automatize the production of annual economy presentations for the Global Innovation Index (GII).1 Description In addition to the annual launch event, the GII is also promoted through national release events and stakeholder seminars. As such, there is a need to tailor material in presentation format both from the report and the economy briefs to provide insights specific to each ranked economy within the GII. A sample presentation template from the GII 2022 report can be seen here. /talk/gii22-launch/ Thu, 29 Sep 2022 13:30:00 +0000 /talk/gii22-launch/ Notes Presented results as a member of the WIPO Secretariat and a member of the Global Innovation Index (GII) team. Overview The 2022 edition of the GII tracks the most recent global innovation trends against the background of an ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, slowing productivity growth and other evolving challenges. It reveals the most innovative economies in the world, ranking the innovation performance of around 132 economies while highlighting innovation strengths and weaknesses. /project/gii-sources-and-definitions/ Fri, 10 Jun 2022 00:00:00 +0000 /project/gii-sources-and-definitions/ Objective To automatize the production of the Global Innovation Index (GII) Appendix on sources and definitions.1 Description To build the GII, WIPO collects a wide array of data from a variety of sources. As such, we must cite and describe how we prepare and utilize the data for transparency purposes. The Sources and Definitions Appendix from the GII 2022 report can be seen here. Previously, source metadata were collected in an ad hoc fashion and synthesized manually. /project/gii-briefs/ Wed, 07 Jul 2021 00:00:00 +0000 /project/gii-briefs/ Objective To insource and automatize the production of annual economy briefs for the Global Innovation Index (GII).1 Description In addition to the ranking and report, the GII launch also includes the release of the economy briefs. The briefs summarize each economy’s innovation performance for the specific report year. They tailor material from the report and the economy profiles to provide insights specific to each ranked economy within the GII. A sample brief for Australia from the GII 2022 report can be seen here. /project/gii-data/ Mon, 08 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000 /project/gii-data/ Objective To transition the Global Innovation Index (GII) from a disjointed data collection and quality control process to an industry-standard, cloud-based pipeline that is collaborative, integrated, reproducible, standardized, secure and documented.1 See related workshop here. Description The high-level workflow of the GII can be grouped into three phases: Data; Analysis; and, Output. Figure 1 outlines these phases along with their constituent steps. Figure 1: High-level GII workflow This project focuses on the Data phase, where we collect, clean and audit all data necessary for the construction of the Index. /project/gii-profiles/ Thu, 28 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000 /project/gii-profiles/ Objective To insource and automatize the production of annual economy profiles for the Global Innovation Index (GII).1 See related workshop here. Description One of the main components of the GII report is the economy profiles. The profiles provide an overview of each economy’s performance within the GII for the specific report year. They summarize model output, highlight outdated and missing data, and identify indicator strengths and weaknesses. The profiles for the GII 2022 can be seen here.
