The InnoCentive Top 10 – Solver Countries

We get requests for information all the time, from the media to students doing college papers, about the makeup of our Solver community. And we find the data no less riveting than you do – In fact, I’m a self professed data junkie.  Looking recently at a set of top 10 lists (accurate as of 2/25/2009), I thought I would share some of this data.  Some of it may surprise you.  If you think this is interesting and would like to know more about our Solver or Seeker community, let me know in the comments.

Have fun and please feel free to respond here if you have questions, thoughts, or takeaways.

Enjoy!
Dwayne

    Please send me the complete data set. I’d like to 1. compare the entire spectrum of the countries, 2. find out the netto standard in R&D, 3. recalibrate countries position in relation to the consensus standard instead of USA being taken for basis.

    Preliminary R&D counties benchmark based in Innocentive data Feb. 2009.
    1. technical efficiency in innovation by nations:
    USA – 100%
    Russia – 234%
    Germany – 159%
    France – 122%
    China – 41%
    India – 50%
    2. economical efficiency in innovation by nations
    USA – 100%
    Russia – 163%
    Germany – 90%
    France – 107%
    China – 68%

    Hi,

    Innocentive Solvers community is composed of both organisations and individuals.

    Do you know how to measure the proportion of each group? Using registration information maybe…

    Thanks
