This report presents the Innovation Output Indicator (IOI) 2022, which is a composite indicator published by the European Commission since 2013 to offer an output-oriented measure of innovation performance at the country and EU levels and measure countries’ capacity to derive economic benefits from innovation. This edition is based on a revised methodological framework and structure of the index, which improves it's statistical properties and aligns it with new policy priorities.
The report presents the composite index and its indicators for 44 countries, including European Union, EFTA, OECD and emerging economies. According to the IOI, Sweden and Germany are the best performers in the EU followed by Finland, Ireland and Belgium. Germany outperforms the other EU MSs in the domestic value added content of its knowledge-intensive manufacturing exports, whereas Sweden is leads in IP applications. Romania, Latvia and Bulgaria reported the lowest performance among EU countries. The EU, as a single block, leads New Zealand, China, Australia and Brazil, but lags behind the United States, South Korea and Japan.
IOI findings are complemented by an analysis of EU radical innovator and exporter companies, referred to as “global innovation champions”, and of innovative startups and scaleups, based on the Eurostat Community Innovation Survey. This section examines these firms, which are important drivers of innovation and economic growth, to understand what sets them apart.
