Welcome to the first edition of the Malaysia Innovation Index (MII) 2025, a report that serves as a strategic compass, going beyond just a document, as it offers a clear and comprehensive view of our national innovation landscape. The MII functions as a vital tool to help us assess our current position, identify key strengths and weaknesses, and translate data into impactful policies and initiatives.

In line with our goal to enhance our international competitiveness, this MII Report provides us with a clear guide on where we stand and where we need to improve. The report covers the entire innovation cycle, from human capital and Research and Development (R&D) activities to technology adoption and its socioeconomic impact.
