Current Year 2023 GII Report

The 2023 Global Innovation Index

Who leads on unicorns?

The 2023 Global Innovation Index (GII) introduces a  new indicator:  6.2.2 Unicorn valuation, % GDP  that assesses the combined valuation of unicorn companies, which are privately held startups valued at over USD 1 billion. These unicorns are known for their rapid growth and disruptive innovations that can reshape entire industries. As of April 2023, there were 1,206 unicorn companies across 50 countries worldwide.

Key findings from the GII report regarding unicorn companies include:

1. Global Distribution: Unicorn companies are primarily concentrated in five economies, with the United States hosting 54% of them, followed by China (14%), India (6%), the United Kingdom (4%), and Germany (2%). The total valuation of unicorn companies globally in 2023 reached USD 3.8 trillion, with US unicorns accounting for USD 2 trillion, followed by China at USD 736 billion and India at USD 193 billion.

2. Top Valuable Unicorns: Among the top 25 most valuable unicorn companies, China leads with ByteDance (1st in artificial intelligence), SHEIN (3rd in e-commerce), and Xiaohongshu (12th in e-commerce). The United States follows with SpaceX (2nd in space and telecommunications), Stripe (4th in fintech), and Epic Games (7th in video games). Other countries like Australia and Indonesia also have notable unicorn companies.

3. Scaling by GDP: The GII scales the cumulative value of unicorns by GDP to assess the unicorn ecosystem's relative strength in different economies. Five economies, namely Estonia, Israel, Lithuania, Senegal, and the United States, tie for the top position after scaling. These countries are home to unicorns like Bolt, Wiz, Vinted, and Wave, operating in various sectors.

4. Unicorns and Development: Analyzing the relationship between an economy's level of development and the cumulative value of its unicorn companies reveals that most high-income economies fall in the upper-right quadrant. However, there are also high-income European economies with a lower concentration of unicorn companies in the lower-right quadrant.

In summary, the GII report highlights the prevalence and economic significance of unicorn companies globally, with a focus on their concentration in a few leading economies and their impact on innovation and economic development.

GII Conceptual Framework

Conceptual Framework for the Global Innovation Index 2022

The overall GII ranking is based on two sub-indices that are both equally important in presenting a complete picture of innovation; the Innovation Input Sub-Index and the Innovation Output Sub-Index.

Each of the five (5) input and two (2) output pillars is divided into three sub-pillars, each of which is composed of individual indicators – a total of 81 this year (see the Economy profiles section for the Framework of the Global Innovation Index 2022).

A detailed elaboration of the conceptual framework and pillars can be found in the 2020 edition of the GII. Each sub-pillar is calculated by taking the weighted average of its individual indicators’ scores, which are normalized to again produce scores between 0 and 100.

Pillar scores are calculated using the weighted average of each pillar’s sub-pillar scores.

Hence, three indices are calculated:

01

Innovation Input
Sub-Index

Five input pillars capture elements of the economy that enable and facilitate innovative activities.

02

Innovation Output
Sub-Index

Two Innovation outputs pillars are the result of innovative activities within the economy.

03

The overall
GII score

Is the average of the Input and Output Sub-Indices, on which the GII economy rankings are produced.

Definitions of the pillars and what they evaluate:

Definisi bagi setiap indikator boleh diperoleh daripada Appendix- Sources and Definition dalam Laporan GII.

Jumlah ekonomi/negara yang terlibat dalam penilaian mungkin sama atau berbeza pada setiap tahun. Pada tahun 2022, jumlah ekonomi yang terlibat adalah sebanyak 132 buah negara. Sesebuah negara hanya layak untuk dinilai sekiranya mempunyai liputan data sekurang-kurangnya 66% untuk Innovation Input Sub-Index dan 66% untuk Innovation Output Sub-Index.
