The Global Cleantech Innovation Index 2017 WHICH COUNTRIES LOOK SET TO PRODUCE - THE NEXT GENERATION OF START UPS? EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Global Cleantech Innovation Index (GCII) programme investigates where, relative to GDP, entrepreneurial clean technology companies are most likely to emerge from over the next 10 years – and why. Drawing on a wide range of factors and sources, the study seeks to answer the same question as the 2012 and 2014 GCII reports, namely: which countries currently have the greatest potential to produce entrepreneurial cleantech start-up companies that will commercialise clean technology innovations over the next 10 years? Based on the data contributing to 15 indicators of creation, commercialisation and growth of • Overall, and consistent with the 2014 Index, this 2017 Index demonstrates that countries will score well if they are a) addressing growing demand for renewable energy and other clean technologies; b) connecting start-ups with multiple channels to increase their success rates and; c) increasing international engagement across the cleantech ecosystem. • The top three positions are held by Denmark, Finland and Sweden, which is not surprising based on very strong positions in the 2014 Index. All three appear to be gearing up for additional growth with increases in the numbers and amount of cleantech funds. The lowest scoring Nordic country is Norway. There are challenges for Norway but it is also the country with highest cleantech RD budgets in 2013-15. The world would invest roughly 4 times more in cleantech RD if it adopted the same level of cleantech RD per GDP as Norway. The Nordic region performs strongly in 2017 Index. • Denmark tops the 2017 Index, moving up from 5th plac
