2013 innovation index

This year Switzerland tops the list of innovative countries. Cornell University, INSEAD, and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) analyzed 142 different countries using 84 indicators looking at both innovation capabilities (i.e. top universities, access to finance) and measurable results (i.e. patents and publications). Netherlands places 4th, Canada just misses the top 10 at 11th and USA behind Sweden (2nd) and the UK (3rd) at 5th.
