24、gship Global Innovation Index(GII),our guide to the innovative performance of 133 countries,as well as the worlds top 100 science and technology clusters.This years special theme,Unlocking the Promise of Social Entrepreneurship,explores the link between innovation and social enterprises,and the impa
25、ct this delivers for our world.Looking at the global landscape in 2023,we find cloudy skies and gloomy weather.Following boom years between 2020 and 2022,R&D expenditures decelerated,the number of scientific publications fell,and venture capital investments returned to pre-pandemic levels,including
26、in Africa and Latin America.If tighter financial conditions persist,this will hinder needed innovation investments in the near term.Amidst these gray clouds and headwinds,we can see some rays of light.New innovation in Digital and Deep Science highlighted in GII 2022 continue to power progress,with
27、significant developments in areas like genome sequencing,computer power,and electric batteries.There are also improvements in what we term the socio-economic impact of innovation,with positive trends in key indicators,including a decline in global poverty and rises in labor productivity and life exp
28、ectancy.In terms of rankings,we see that the top spots have remained quite stable.I think this reflects the fact that innovation ecosystems take time to build and those that already have strong foundations in place are reaping the benefits.But we are seeing a continued trend of strong progress from
29、emerging economies.Indonesia,Mauritius,Saudi Arabia,Qatar and Brazil have climbed the most in the GII over the past five years,with China,India,Iran,Morocco,the Philippines and Trkiye the highest risers over the past 10 years.A further 19 economies,primarily in Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia,
30、are outperforming their development levels in innovation.While these trends are promising,many of these innovation ecosystems still require careful nurturing.WIPO will continue to support countries at all stages of development to seize opportunities for entrepreneurship and innovation-driven growth.
31、ForewordForeword 7The GII tends to be centered around innovation for economic growth and development.We have broadened our scope this year and chosen the theme of social innovation.Estimates suggest there are up to 11 million social enterprises and 30 million social entrepreneurs globally,contributi
32、ng around USD 2 trillion to global GDP.Often these organizations are at the forefront of addressing critical issues like poverty,environmental sustainability,and social injustice.Despite their undeniable impact,social enterprises have often been on the margins of traditional innovation models and po
33、licies.This 2024 GII edition brings the topic to center stage,highlighting the state of social entrepreneurship globally and offering policy recommendations to unlock the sectors innovation potential.We hope that these insights,alongside the GIIs wealth of data and analysis,serve as a powerful tool

73、ic and flexible measure of the innovation happening all around the world today.To achieve this goal,the GII needs to go beyond capturing technological breakthroughs.It has also to account for the pioneering business models and social innovations driving positive change.The 2024 edition of the GII fo
74、cuses on social entrepreneurship,a model gaining prominence for its role in spearheading innovation aimed at addressing critical societal challenges.In recent years,an increasing cohort of entrepreneurs has embarked upon ventures that not only strive to achieve meaningful social impact,but also to b
75、e sustainable through market-based mechanisms.This innovative paradigm presents novel solutions in domains where traditional commercial enterprises have failed.When executed aptly,social entrepreneurship promises shared value across communities and nations,facilitating the type of multidimensional v
76、alue creation able to harmonize societal advancement with financial sustainability.Yet,despite its burgeoning significance,social entrepreneurship remains relatively unexplored within the traditional spheres of innovation research.With this in mind,this 2024 edition of the GII sets out to provide an
77、 evidence-based foundation for advancing our understanding of social entrepreneurship as a significant driver of innovation.Rigorous research is now needed into how to cultivate an environment able to unleash the full innovation potential of social entrepreneurship.As co-editors of the GII,we remain
78、 committed to precise data and analytical rigor principles with immense value that have been the cornerstone of the GII since its inception and are proud to mobilize in order to cast additional light on the promising linkages between social entrepreneurship and innovation.Developing comprehensive in
79、sights into the socioeconomic implications of social entrepreneurship empowers stakeholders to make informed decisions and implement strategic initiatives with a long-term impact,rather than resorting to sporadic actions yielding only anecdotal and short-lived effects.Within this context,the GII has
80、 a pivotal role to play as a catalyst for progress within both the public and private sectors.By objectively evaluating policies,initiatives,and the ecosystems that foster innovation,the GII can be instrumental in helping shape an informed landscape of global innovation practices,including social en
81、trepreneurship.Published annually by the World Intellectual Property Organization(WIPO),the GII has consolidated its position as the worlds leading benchmark study of innovation.This authoritative report is enriched by valuable insights drawn from Academic Network partners across 13 countries that f
82、urther contribute to the GIIs status as the worlds leading innovation study.With steadfast support from the leadership at WIPO,including Director General Daren Tang and Assistant Director General Marco Alemn,the dedicated team behind the GII continues in its effort to advance the quantification of i

167、 such as R&D,process innovation,and patenting and trademarking.But it also involves social entrepreneurs taking concrete actions to embed their enterprises in existing innovation ecosystems.They can do this,by tapping existing sources of scientific and technological knowledge,as well as venture capi

263、500.Costs of renewable energyBetween 2021 and 2022,the global weighted-average levelized cost of electricity(LCOE)from newly commissioned solar photovoltaic(PV)and wind power witnessed a reduction of 3.9 percent and 3.5 percent,respectively.Yet,this rate of reduction is substantially lower than the
264、past decades compound annual rate of 15 percent for solar and 9 percent for wind.In 2010,the global weighted-average cost of onshore wind was 95 percent higher than the lowest cost of fossil fuel-fired power.However,by 2022,it was 52 percent lower than the cheapest fossil fuel-fired solutions.Simila
265、rly,solar PV,which was 710 percent more expensive than the cheapest fossil fuel-fired solution in 2010,became 29 percent less expensive by 2022,marking a remarkable reduction in cost(IRENA,2023).Despite these positive trends,the renewable energy sector faces emerging challenges.The escalating demand
266、 for natural resources and manufactured materials,coupled with a reduction in fossil fuel prices from their 2022 peak,could potentially make renewable energy sources less competitive relative to fossil fuels.Electric battery price Technological progress has persistently driven down the cost of lithi
267、um-ion batteries for over a decade,making electric vehicles(EVs)increasingly affordable.However,2022 marked a key turnaround,with a first-ever increase in the price of electric batteries following upon an increase in production costs.This price reversal ended again in 2023,with lithium-ion battery p

271、EF.Cost of genome sequencingDNA sequencing plays a crucial role in the understanding of the human genome,and has numerous potential applications in health care,including the rapid diagnosis of complex diseases.The cost of sequencing an entire genome has fallen dramatically over time.Based on estimat
272、es valid for the United States,it has fallen from approximately USD 100 million in 2001 to just over USD 500 in 2023.This rapid reduction in cost,driven by advancements in next-generation DNA sequencing methods,has far outpaced the expected rate of progress predicated on Moores Law.Between 2021 and
273、2023,there was an annualized reduction of 8 percent in the cost of genome sequencing,falling below the long-term trend of a 20 percent CAGR.7Looking ahead,new metrics will be required in order to assess the cost of more advanced DNA sequencing techniques.Emerging long-read DNA sequencing technologie

278、examining the number of novel active substances(NASs)launched globally.A NAS is defined as a new molecular or biologic entity or combination where at least one element is new(IQVIA,2024).In 2023,a total of 69 NASs were introduced globally,marking a significant 9.5 percent increase on the 63 launched
279、 in 2022.This figure surpasses the average annual growth rate of 3.7 percent observed over the decade.Still,this is lower than during 2020 and 2021,when the number of drugs introduced surged due to the COVID-19 pandemic before returning to the pre-pandemic trend.In contrast to this years use of IQVI
280、A data,last years Global Innovation Tracker relied on Food and Drug Administration(FDA)data for the monitoring of drug approvals.FDA data confirms the positive trend in 2023,with a notable rise of 49 percent in drug approvals after a steep decline in 2022.Figure 10 shows annual NAS launches between
281、2013 and 2023 disaggregated by therapeutic area.Around 30 percent of the drugs introduced relate to oncology,11 percent to neurology and around 10 percent to infectious diseases,together accounting for half of total launches during the period.Figure 10 Number of yearly drug launches,by therapeutic a

284、 Data Science.Technology adoptionIn 2023,technology adoption was positive across all the indicators considered.Growth was evident in areas such as robotics and EVs.Connectivity is also expanding rapidly with the rise of 5G networks,promising faster data transmission speeds and a more reliable servic
285、e.However,despite long-term growth in safe sanitation,the pace of expansion is currently insufficient to meet the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal of universal coverage by 2030.There has been a decline of countries meeting the minimum cancer equipment needs too.The growth rate for the ado
286、ption of safe sanitation has also significantly slowed.Safe sanitationSafe sanitation,that is,the use of improved sanitation facilities,increased by 1.4 percent between 2021 and 2022,representing 57 per 100 inhabitants.This rate of growth is below the decades average annual increase of 2.4 percent f
287、rom 2012 to 2022.A decade ago,under Global Innovation Tracker 43half of the worlds population(45 percent)had access to safe sanitation.This implies that approximately 1.3 billion people have gained access to safe sanitation since 2012.The most significant progress in safe sanitation access since 201
288、2 has been observed in Central and Southern Asia(+6.6 percent),particularly in India,and East and South East Asia(+4.6 percent),with China leading the way.However,current rates of international adoption indicate that only 65 percent of the worlds population will have access to safe sanitation by 203
289、0.This falls short by 35 points of the Sustainable Development Goal of universal coverage(UNICEF and WHO,2023).ConnectivityThis year the Global Innovation Tracker includes for the first time data on the proportion of the worlds population covered by 5G networks.This is part of the GIIs effort to mon
290、itor the spread of cutting-edge communication technologies.In 2023,5G coverage extended to approximately 38 percent of the global population;a notable achievement considering commercial deployment only began in 2019.This represents a close to 25 percent increase on the coverage in 2022 and an annual
291、 compound growth rate of 45 percent since 2021.Furthermore,today,95 percent of the worlds population is covered by at least a 3G network(Figure 11).9Coverage varies according to region.Europe leads in 5G deployment,with 68 percent of the population covered,followed by the Americas at 59 percent and
292、the Asia-Pacific region at 42 percent.The Arab States have 12 percent coverage,while the Commonwealth of Independent States(CIS)region and Africa have 8 percent and 6 percent coverage,respectively(ITU,2023).The fixed broadband subscription rate rose to around 19 per 100 inhabitants,in 2023,a 4 perce
293、nt increase on the previous year.This is,however,below the compound annual growth rate of 7 percent over the past decade.Europe leads with 36 per 100 inhabitants,followed by the Americas at 26,the CIS region at 23,Asia-Pacific at 19,the Arab States at 11.Africa has the lowest coverage of all at just
294、 0.8 per 100 inhabitants.Figure 11 Population coverage by type of mobile network,201520232015201620172018201920202021202220230102030405060708090100%2G2G2G3G3G3G4G4G4G5G5G5GNotes:The values for 2G,3G and 4G represents that proportion of the population that has access to each respective network or a s

296、operational stock of robots increased significantly by 12 percent,mirroring the compound growth rate over the past decade.Growth occurred despite supply chain disruptions,with robot adoption reaching new heights.Over 550,000 new installations were recorded,marking a 5 percent increase on the previou
297、s record set in 2021.The electronics industry emerged as the leading consumer of robots in 2022,accounting for 28 percent of all new installations.The automotive industry closely followed,with a 25 percent share of new installations(Mller,2023).Geographically,the industrial robot market was dominate
298、d by five countries:China,Japan,the United States,the Republic of Korea and Germany.Together,these five countries accounted for 74 percent of the operational stock of robots in 2022.Over time,there has been a noticeable shift in robot adoption.Japan,the United States and Germany have seen a decrease
299、 in their share,whereas Chinas share has increased significantly.Electric vehicles The global EV market experienced substantial growth in 2022.The stock of EVs increased by 54 percent that year,slightly below the 10-year average growth rate of 59 percent.The share of EVs rose to 3 percent,in 2022,up
300、 from 2 percent in 2021 and a mere 0.07 percent a decade ago(IEA,2024).Electric vehicles accounted for 18 percent of global car sales in 2022.The market was dominated by China,Europe and the United States,which together constituted around 95 percent of total EV sales.Emerging markets and developing
301、economies outside China constituted only a small proportion of the global market.Affordability remains a significant barrier,particularly in low-and lower middle-income economies.Challenges such as limited access to charging infrastructure and EV servicing further impede adoption not only in these e
302、conomies but also in high-income regions,too.Nonetheless,2022 saw a significant surge in electromobility within India,Thailand and Indonesia.Electric car sales in these countries tripled compared to 2021,largely driven by Tatas dominance within the Indian market and government incentives aimed at bo
303、lstering EV manufacturing.Cancer radiotherapyTo better capture the adoption of health-related innovations,the Global Innovation Tracker provides information on the availability of cancer therapy equipment,specifically the number of linear accelerators(LINACs)devices for delivering high-energy x-rays
304、 or electrons to cancers for therapeutic or palliative purposes per inhabitant.Data for 2023 shows an around 3 percent rise in the availability of LINACs per capita compared to the previous year,exceeding the average annual global increase in LINAC availability of 1.6 percent over the past decade.In
305、 2023,21 out of 100 countries met the minimum radiotherapy requirements set out by the International Atomic Energy Agency(IAEA)DIrectory of RAdiotherapy Centres(DIRAC)(see Data note).Among upper middle-income economies,there has been a notable increase in the percentage of countries meeting radiothe
306、rapy requirements.However,the number of lower middle-and low-income economies meeting radiotherapy technology minimum requirements remains low,indicating a persistent divide in access to adequate radiotherapy services.Global Innovation Tracker 45Socioeconomic impactIn terms of the socioeconomic impa
307、ct of innovation,many indicators have returned to some growth relative to the results of last years 2023 edition of the GII.Labor productivity has seen an increase,albeit at a rate below the average for the past decade,with levels slightly above those of 2021.Significant long-term progress has been
308、made in reducing poverty,with the number of people in extreme poverty in 2022 being half of what it was in 2005.However,levels remain above those recorded in 2018,and thus pre-pandemic levels,indicating that more effort is needed if progress is to be sustained or even accelerated.Life expectancy saw
309、 a rapid rise in 2022,but remains at levels last seen in 2015.Also,the disparity between healthy life expectancy and total life expectancy is still to be addressed.On environmental issues,the world is falling further behind.After a temporary reduction in 2020,carbon emissions are growing once.The ye
310、ar 2023 was the hottest on record,highlighting an urgent need for effective climate action.Labor productivityLabor productivity showed an increase of around 1 percent between 2022 and 2023,an improvement from the sluggish growth of around 0.2 percent observed between 2021 and 2022.In terms of output
311、 per worker,there has been a notable increase,from around USD 43,000 in 2012 to USD 51,000 in 2023.Despite this positive trend,the current growth rate still lags behind the decade average of 2.2 percent productivity growth;a trend further discussed in the context of two possibly new Digital Age and
312、deep Science Innovation waves in the GII 2022 special theme What is the future of innovation-driven growth?PovertyThis year,the Global Innovation Tracker incorporates data on poverty.In 2022,approximately 712 million people were living in extreme poverty,defined as subsisting on less than USD 2.15 a
313、 day(2017 PPP)a 5 percent decrease on the previous year.Comparatively,in 2012,the number of people living in poverty was 936 million,representing a reduction of over 200 million individuals over the decade(Figure 12).Since the 2000s,the share of the global population living below the lower middle-in
314、come(USD 3.65)and the upper middle-income(USD 6.85)poverty line also shrank.Currently,nearly 2 billion people live on under USD 3.65 a day,and more than 3.5 billion people(around half of the worlds population)live below the USD 6.85 threshold.Despite the 2022 improvement,poverty is still greater tod
315、ay than it was before the pandemic struck.Figure 12 Population living in poverty,by income threshold,19812022,USD PPP 2017198519901995200020052010201520200.00.51.01.52.02.53.03.54.0 billion people6.856.85USD/dayUSD/day6.85USD/day3.653.65USD/dayUSD/day3.65USD/day2.152.15USD/dayUSD/day2.15USD/daySourc

317、tancy,and recovery has been gradual.Following two consecutive periods of unprecedented decline a 1 percent decrease between 2019 and 2020,and a further 1.3 percent decrease between 2020 and 2021 life expectancy rose by around 1 percent in 2022.As of 2022,the life expectancy of a representative indiv
318、idual is 72 years,the same as in 2015.A decade earlier,in 2012,life expectancy was slightly lower,at 71 years(Figure 13).Despite improvements,significant disparities in life expectancy persist.There remains a striking gap of approximately 30 years between the highest and lowest life expectancies.For
319、 instance,in Japan,life expectancy is slightly below 84 years,whereas in some other countries it is around 55 years.This gap has narrowed over time since 1960,when it was 45 years.Additionally,a notable disparity exists between life expectancy at birth and healthy life expectancy at birth(HALE).This
320、 gap has remained fairly constant since the start of the millennium,at around 9.5 years.Figure 13 Life expectancy and healthy life expectancy at birth(years),20002022200020022004200620082010201220142016201820202022586062646668707274 yearsLifeLifeexpectancyexpectancyLifeexpectancyHealthyHealthylifeli
