Even though it's from two years ago, the patterns in tech adoption and innovation remain super relevant. Seeing Switzerland, the U.S., and Sweden lead the way shows the power of investing in R&D and strong industry-university partnerships. Passionate about digital transformation, I believe we can all learn from their approach. Let’s keep pushing the boundaries

Countries from the ASEAN region - Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam - have all placed within the top 50 of the global innovation index. The question now is whether we will see more ASEAN countries join them in the top 50 rankings in the near future - we have been hearing a lot about B2B tech and innovation, exciting for sure 😬 #asean #singapore #malaysia #thailand #vietnam #innovation #tech #mostinnovativecountry #globalinnovationindex
