The ranking is compiled by the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO).
Moldova’s success is due to improvements in the creative industries sector (50th place) and in science and technology outcomes (52nd place). The ranking was dragged down by a lack of human capital (75th place), underdeveloped institutions (88th place), a shortage of market investment (85th place) and underdeveloped infrastructure (95th place). The indicator dragging the ranking down the most, however, is the extremely low level of doing business in the technology sector (135th out of a possible 139).
It should be noted, however, that Moldova achieved its highest ranking in this index between 2000 and 2026 (39th place) in 2011.
Switzerland tops the 2026 list, followed by Sweden in second place and the US in third.
Romania is in 49th place, Russia in 58th, and Ukraine in 67th.
