Cornell University, INSEAD and the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) have just published the results of the eighth “Global Innovation Index” survey.
With a score of 59.0, Luxembourg ranks 9th in the world (out of 141 nations), ahead of its neighbouring countries. It is ranked first for the ‘ICT access’, ‘new businesses’, ‘cultural & creative service exports’ sub-indexes, and 4th for the ‘online creativity’ sub-index.
To sum it up, the authors of the 2015 survey had this to say about Luxembourg: “Luxembourg maintains its 9th place position while improving its innovation output ranking to 2nd place (from 5th in 2014) and its innovation efficiency ranking to 3rd place (from 9th in 2014). (…) Identified strengths include ICT access, environmental performance, employment in knowledge intensive services, joint venture deals, and cultural and creative services exports.”
