World Intellectual Property Report 2019: The geography of innovation: Local hotspots, global networks

"The geography of innovation can seem paradoxical. The generation of scientific knowledge and innovation is both increasingly global and intensely concentrated in a few local hotspots. New players, particularly Asian countries, are responsible for more and more scientific research and inventions, which were once the almost exclusive domain of a handful of rich economies. At the same time, this greater international spread has been accompanied - at country level - by increased concentration of innovative activity within a few densely populated areas. These urban areas are vibrant innovation ecosystems, such as Silicon Valley outside San Francisco in the U.S or China’s ShenzhenHong Kong, a more recent hotspot" (Wipo, 2019, p. 9). Ver documento
