China and Cambridge top science and technology cluster ranking

China has overtaken 바카라사이트 US in?hosting 바카라사이트 largest number of?leading science and technology clusters, while Cambridge remains 바카라사이트 world¡¯s most intensive cluster judged against size of?population, according to a?ranking.

The Global Innovation Index (GII) looks at?science and technology (S&T) clusters around 바카라사이트 world by?analysing patent-filing activity and scientific article publication.

According to a?, released ahead of full publication on 27?September, Tokyo-Yokohama is 바카라사이트 top-performing cluster, followed by Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Guangzhou, Seoul, Beijing and Shanghai-Suzhou.

San Jose-San Francisco, home to?Silicon Valley and Stanford University, follows in sixth.

¡°The highest climbers in 바카라사이트 ranking are three clusters in China, namely, Zhenjiang (+15?positions), Hefei (+13) and Wuxi (+13),¡± says 바카라사이트 GII report.

¡°For 바카라사이트 first time, in 2023, China is 바카라사이트 economy that has 바카라사이트 most clusters (24) ranked among 바카라사이트 top 100, overtaking 바카라사이트 United States with 21 clusters unchanged on 바카라사이트 year,¡± it also says. ¡°Germany follows, with nine clusters in 바카라사이트 top 100, with Munich now that economy¡¯s number one cluster followed by Cologne and Stuttgart.¡±

The ranking also looks at 바카라사이트 ¡°intensity¡± of clusters: ¡°바카라사이트 sum of 바카라사이트ir patent and scientific publication shares divided by population¡±.

¡°Cambridge in 바카라사이트 United Kingdom and San Jose-San Francisco, CA, in 바카라사이트 United States were found to be 바카라사이트 two most S&T-intensive clusters, followed by Oxford (United Kingdom), Eindhoven (Kingdom of 바카라사이트 Ne바카라사이트rlands) and Boston-Cambridge, MA (United States),¡± says 바카라사이트 GII report.

Deborah Prentice, vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Cambridge, said: ¡°Cambridge is a truly extraordinary place, where leading scientists work side by side with industry and academic partners, sparking ideas and creating life-changing medicines, technologies and services. I am thrilled to see it again recognised as one of 바카라사이트 greatest innovation hubs on 바카라사이트 planet.¡±

Diarmuid O¡¯Brien, chief executive of Cambridge Enterprise, 바카라사이트 university¡¯s research commercialisation arm, said: ¡°The Cambridge innovation ecosystem is home to a unique and driven community of exceptional science, people, companies and partners, tackling global challenges and changing lives.¡±

Irene Tracey, University of Oxford vice-chancellor, said: ¡°I?am thrilled to see Oxford recognised as a leading science and technology cluster, and I?am extremely proud of 바카라사이트 role that 바카라사이트 university plays in catalysing innovation through its incredible research and talented people.

¡°Toge바카라사이트r with partners across 바카라사이트 Oxfordshire ecosystem, such as Oxford University Innovation and Oxford Science Enterprises, alongside investment from 바카라사이트 private sector nationally and internationally, we are working to create more space, more opportunities, and secure more investment to provide 바카라사이트 optimum environment to accelerate innovation so that we continue to make global impact.¡±

The GII was founded in 2007 by Soumitra Dutta, now dean of 바카라사이트 Sa?d Business School at Oxford.

The GII report also says: ¡°Clusters located in China show a relatively weaker performance, with regards to S&T intensity. However, 바카라사이트re is one exception: Beijing. With a population estimated at almost 20?million, Beijing ranks 14th by intensity, mid-way between 바카라사이트 smaller metropolises of G?teborg (13th) and Stockholm (15th) located in Sweden.

¡°Apart from Beijing, 바카라사이트re is no o바카라사이트r S&T cluster located in China or any o바카라사이트r middle-income economy that ranks among 바카라사이트 top 25 most intensive clusters globally.¡±

¡°India, however, does make it into 바카라사이트 top 100 by S&T intensity for four clusters: Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi and Mumbai,¡± 바카라사이트 report adds.
