I'm the Technology Editor at Forbes India and I love writing about all things tech. Explaining the big picture, where tech meets business and society, is what drives me. I don't get to do that every day, but I live for those well-crafted stories, written simply, sans jargon.
Bloomberg recently published the seventh edition of its annual Innovation Index that saw South Korea retain the top spot, with Israel surging several places to number five. The index—comprising 60 countries, including India—is built on the basis of their capabilities in areas such as research and development spending, patent activity, manufacturing capability and concentration of high-tech public companies.
Germany came a close second to Korea whereas Israel overtook economies, including Japan, Singapore and Sweden. The US, which didn’t figure in the top 10 last year, returned this time, ranked eighth.
