Since 2013, China has risen 25 places — making it one of the fastest-rising economies in innovation.

This progress reflects steady advances in basic research, breakthroughs in key and core technologies, leadership in frontier fields such as artificial intelligence and renewable energy, and the deep integration of digital and real economies. These achievements stem from China’s innovation-driven development strategy and its efforts to build a science and technology powerhouse.

“Reaching the global top 10 highlights China’s prominent role as a global leader in innovation,” said WIPO Assistant Director General, Marco Aleman.
