US tops off World's Most Innovative Nations list
As much as people joke about the US belligerently ranting about being #1 in just about everything...it's a fact that "we're #1" on the World's Most Innovative Nations list. The World Business/INSEAD Innovation Index 2007, researched by Professor Soumitra Dutta and sponsored by BT, ranks nations on innovation performance, focusing on institutions and policies, infrastructure, human capacity, technological sophistication, and business markets and capital. "Germany was a distant second, while the U.K., Japan and France rounded out the top five. The United Arab Emirates (#14) was the only country in the Top 15 that wasn't European, Asian or North American."
