WIPO chief comments on Vietnam’s Provincial Innovation Index

(VOVWORLD) -Vietnam’s Provincial Innovation Index (PII) is sharpening healthy competition at the local level, said Daren Tang, Director General of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), during the Vietnam Innovation Day, on Wednesday, in Hanoi.

“This PII mirrors the GI structure with 52 indicators. In other words it brings the whole innovation ecosystem down to the provincial and local levels, so that leaders in those levels can see that which links in the chain need attention in the province. The index is really sharpening healthy competition at the local level. MSC has positioned the PII not only as a performance dashboard but also as a decision tool. It helps inform provision planning and gives investors a clearer read of the Innovation conditions on the ground,” said Mr. Tang.

The PII was developed with methodology, models, and calculation techniques transferred by WIPO. It has been independently assessed and verified by WIPO international experts, confirming its compliance with international standards on statistics and methodology. 

Mr. Daren Tang said Vietnam’s development of the PII has been recommended for replication in other countries. In 2024, WIPO invited Vietnam’s representatives to a workshop to share experiences with other WIPO member states.
