WIPO's Global Innovation Index's (GII) Innovation cluster ranking maps out where innovation activity is concentrated globally. By analyzing patent filings, scientific publications, and venture capital deals, it identifies the areas with the densest populations of inventors, scientific authors, and venture capitalists.
