See what CEOs are saying about the innovation economy
The Global Innovation Index (GII) points towards ‘social entrepreneurship’ as the future growth of the innovation economy.
“As we—the innovation economy—invest in what’s next, it is our responsibility as corporate and industry leaders who are advocating for technology and positive disruption to ask tough questions: How can innovation produce more benefits for more people? What is the impact when these innovations are introduced to the world? What economic opportunities are there in these evolving job-creating ecosystems?”
— Greg Becker, President and CEO, Silicon Valley Bank
“At every level—local to global—and across social, economic, and environmental areas, creativity is needed to reinvent globalization and to reconcile sustainability, equality, and prosperity. In the end, it is no surprise that some of the top GII innovation economies in North America, Europe and Asia also boast some of the most active global science, technology, and innovation clusters.”
— GII Co-Editor and President of IMD’s Smart City Observatory Bruno Lanvin
