The innovation index classified 500 cities into four bands for innovation based on scores derived from 162 indicators for measuring conditions conducive to creating innovation in a city, stated 2thinknow in a release. After the classification process, the cities are ranked by the analysts.
Analyst’s insights behind the index is that the cities with higher rates of innovation will “experience higher economic output, and be perceived as the best destinations to invest in commercial product, service or social innovation without a specific industry focus.”
