World Intellectual Property Report: Making innovation work for development

Economic diversification is a tough process. It asks policymakers difficult questions about which areas to support, which not to support, and where untapped potential lies. It also requires the flexibility to move swiftly and seamlessly into new areas of specialization, as well as the focus to build new, often complex innovation capabilities. Here is where this edition of WIPO’s World Intellectual Property Report can make a difference. WIPO's economic team has devised a novel methodology, mapping 20 years of innovation capabilities across over 150 Member States, to help lift the lid on innovation policy design and the secrets to success.
