The index adopts a broad definition of innovation. It includes “outputs”, such as patents, scientific publications and high-tech exports, as well as “inputs”, such as spending on research and development (R&D), the number of engineering graduates, and venture-capital deals. The index takes into account a country’s adoption and use of technology, as well as its production of it. Countries that import a lot of high-tech products and spend liberally on intellectual property from abroad score better on the index. Some of the indicators are unconventional, including the number of feature films a country makes and the amount of changes it makes to collaborative software projects on GitHub, a popular platform for sharing data and code.

Why can’t EU put all members’ effort together to achieve something instead of everyone struggles on their own?
