Shenzhen-HK-Guangzhou tops UN innovation index for second year

WIPO's 2026 Global Innovation Index ranks the Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Guangzhou cluster as the world's top innovation hub for the second consecutive year, followed by Tokyo-Yokohama, San Jose-San Francisco, Seoul, and Beijing. The ranking underscores the region's sustained strength in tech and R&D, though it is a lagging indicator of innovation capacity rather than a market-moving event.
