According to GII 2024, in 2024, Vietnam will have three leading indicators in the world: high-tech imports, high-tech exports and creative goods exports.
According to the Ministry of Science and Technology, on the evening of September 26 (Vietnam time), in Geneva (Switzerland), the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) announced the Global Innovation Index 2024 (GII 2024).
Accordingly, Vietnam is ranked 44/133 countries and economies, up 2 places compared to 2023. Vietnam continues to improve its innovation input ranking, up 4 places compared to 2023, from 57 to 53 (innovation input includes 5 pillars: institutions; human resources and research; infrastructure; market development level; business development level).
Vietnam's innovation output increased 4 places compared to 2023, from position 40 to 36 (innovation output includes 2 pillars: knowledge and technology products; creative products).
According to GII 2024, Vietnam maintains its 2nd position in the group of lower-middle-income countries. The lower-middle-income country ranked above Vietnam is India. There are 5 upper-middle-income countries ranked above Vietnam: China ranked 11th; Malaysia ranked 33rd; Türkiye ranked 37th; Bulgaria ranked 38th and Thailand ranked 41st; the rest of the countries ranked above Vietnam are all industrially developed countries in the high-income group. In the ASEAN region, Vietnam ranks 4th (after Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand).
Vietnam is recognized by WIPO as one of the eight middle-income countries that have improved their rankings the most since 2013 (including China, Türkiye, India, Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, Iran and Morocco). Vietnam is also one of the three countries that have outperformed their development level for 14 consecutive years (including India, Moldova and Vietnam).
For 14 consecutive years, Vietnam has consistently had higher innovation results than its development level, demonstrating its efficiency in converting input resources into innovation outputs. According to WIPO, Vietnam's pillar scores are higher than those of lower-middle-income countries and even higher than those of upper-middle-income countries, except for pillar 2 on human resources and research.
According to GII 2024, in 2024, Vietnam will have 3 leading indicators in the world: high-tech imports, high-tech exports and creative goods exports. There are 3 indicators in the top 10 countries in the world, including: labor productivity growth rate (ranked 3rd), the number of smartphone applications created (ranked 7th) and the proportion of research and development expenditures covered by enterprises compared to total research and development expenditures (ranked 9th).
WIPO's GII is a prestigious tool for assessing national innovation capacity in the world, reflecting the socio-economic development model based on science, technology and innovation of countries. Through that, countries can see the overall picture as well as their strengths and weaknesses. The GII index is currently used by many governments as an important reference tool for state management of science, technology and innovation, as well as for developing policies related to this field (India, China, Philippines, Colombia, Brazil, ...).
In Vietnam, the Government has recently used the GII index as one of the important management and administration tools and has assigned ministries, agencies and localities to jointly take responsibility for improving the index. In particular, the Ministry of Science and Technology is assigned to be the focal point for monitoring and general coordination. From 2017 to present, Vietnam's GII index has continuously improved, rising from position 59 (in 2016) to 46 in 2023 and position 44 in 2024.
