Costa Rica is the most innovative country in Latin America, ranking 39th of 142 countries surveyed on the Global Innovation Index (GII) 2013.
The country climbed from the 60th position in 2012, surpassing Chile as regional leader. Costa Rica also was one of three countries that climbed more positions in this year’s ranking, released Monday in Geneva, Switzerland.
The GII ranking is published every year by the European Institute of Business Administration, Cornell University and the World Intellectual Property Organization.
According to the report, Costa Rica's better ranking this year is due to improvements in infrastructure, human capital, public institutions and business "sophistication," the report said.
