The 15th edition of the Global Innovation Index (GII) provides new data and analysis on the state of global innovation and allows readers and policy-makers to benchmark the innovation ecosystem performance of more than 130 economies. The 2022 edition of the GII tracks the most recent global innovation trends against the background of an ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, slowing productivity growth and other evolving challenges.

This edition’s thematic focus on the future of innovation-driven growth provides a perspective on whether stagnation and low productivity growth are here to stay, or whether we are about to enter a new era, where new innovation spurts – the Digital Age and the Deep Science Innovation waves – bring about an economic uplift.

The latest edition gives Spain a score of 44.6 points and 29th position of the 132 countries analyzed, 18th position among European countries, one position above the 2021 edition.
