Each year INSEAD team up with the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) and Cornell University to produce an innovation league table for the countries of the world. It’s designed to rank the infrastructure and support environment for innovation around the world. The 2016 rankings have just been published, and given the desire of the EU to support ‘open science, open data and open to the world‘, it is perhaps no surprise to see European nations in the top 5 spots, and 7 in the top 10.
