The Netherlands ranks 9th in 2011 Global Innovation Index

The Netherlands is in the top ten of the Global Innovation Index (GII), INSEAD's annual report that covers 125 economies, accounting for 93,2% of the world’s population and 98% of the world’s Gross Domestic Product (in current US dollars).

"This year’s rankings show that innovation has become a global phenomenon... Innovation is critical to driving growth in both developed and emerging economies, especially during a time when the global economy is still in a state of recovery," said Soumitra Dutta, Roland Berger Professor of Business and Technology at INSEAD and editor of the study.
