It is reported that the National Innovation Index Report 20 16-20 17 released by the China Academy of Science and Technology Development Strategy in Beijing on June 8 shows that the world innovation pattern is basically stable, and China's national innovation index ranking has surpassed Belgium to 17, which is in the leading position of the second group and is the only top 20 developing country.

According to the comparative analysis of the evaluation results of national innovation index, it is found that 40 participating countries can be divided into three groups. The top 15 of the comprehensive index are mainly developed economies in Europe and America, all of which are recognized as innovative countries, including America 1 seat, Asia 4/seat and Europe1seat. 16 to 30 belong to the second group, and the competition between them is the fiercest. 3 1 to 40 belong to the third group.

The report shows that the United States, with its rich innovation resources and remarkable innovation performance, continues to "take the lead" in the ranking of national innovation indexes. Among Asian countries, Japan and South Korea rank second and fourth respectively, relying on excellent enterprise innovation performance and knowledge creation ability. Singapore ranks ninth. The ranking of China's national innovation index rose from 38th in 2000 to17th at present.

"The study found that China's investment in innovation resources continued to increase, and its level of innovation capability greatly surpassed its economic development stage, far ahead of other developing countries in the world, which was highlighted by the rapid improvement of knowledge output efficiency and quality, and the steady enhancement of enterprise innovation capability." Wuyishan, vice president of China Institute of Science and Technology Development Strategy, said.

According to Xuan, a researcher at the China Academy of Science and Technology Development Strategy, the BRICS countries are currently ranked 30th after China. Among the five first-level indicators that constitute the national innovation index, the rankings of knowledge creation and enterprise innovation in China have increased by 4 places and 1 place respectively compared with last year, while the rankings of three sub-indexes of innovation resources, innovation performance and innovation environment have decreased by 1 place compared with last year.

The research data shows that China's R&D expenditure accounts for 15.6% of the world, still ranking second only to the United States, but the gap with the United States has further narrowed; The total number of R&D personnel has ranked first in the world for nine consecutive years. The number of SCI papers in China reached 28 1 0,000, the number of domestic invention patent applications reached 968,000, and the number of domestic invention patents granted reached 263,000, ranking first in the world.

"By 2020, China's national comprehensive innovation capacity will be in the top 15 in the world" has been included in the overall development goal of the national "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" for scientific and technological innovation. Wuyishan said that with the continuous investment of innovation resources and the deepening of the reform of science and technology system and mechanism, China's innovation efficiency will be further improved, and the country's innovation capability will be steadily improved.
