Recently, the 13th edition of the Global Innovation Index (GII) was published amidst the Covid-19 crisis. Taking into account the current  economic situation and the fact that venture capitals are declining across North America, Asia and Europe, innovation is thought to be the best way for humanity to cope with the economic lockdown.  However, investment rates are low, including foreign direct investment, and they are expected to drop even more in 2020 and 2021.

Europe remains the second most innovative region, right after the US, as it hosts a large number of innovative economies. Sixteen of the innovation leaders in the top 25 are European countries, with seven of them ranking in the top 10. Seven of them climbed up the ranks, from which three are Balkan countries: Bulgaria (37th, up by 3), Croatia (41st, up by 3) and Romania (46th, up by 4). Six economies rank below the top 50, with four of them increasing their ranks this year, three of them being Balkan countries: Serbia (53rd), North Macedonia (57th) and Bosnia and Herzegovina (74th).
