It is Poland’s best result in the ranking in years. We came 30th in Bloomberg’s Global Innovation Index 2013, and were four places short of that spot in the 2012 edition.
The index measures innovation by seven factors. Poland did best in the high-tech density category, where it ranked 13th. The manufacturing capability earned us the 15th place, and we also performed well in patent activity (18th position). At the same time, our country still needs to improve its R&D intensity (40th place), researcher concentration (37th place), and productivity (measuring GDP per worker, 46th place).
According to Bloomberg agency, the world’s most innovative countries are South Korea, Sweden, the United States and Japan. Poland outperformed the Czech Republic, Hungary and Luxembourg.
The survey was based on data from the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the OECD, UNESCO, the World Intellectual Property Organization, and the US Patent and Trademark Office.
