GENEVA - Tokyo-Yokohama remains the world’s largest science and technology cluster in 2024, though clusters in middle-income economies are seeing the fastest growth in the innovation sector, the United Nations said Aug 27.
Wipo, the UN agency dealing with patenting and innovation, said that China, for the second consecutive year, led with the most clusters in the top 100, at 26 , followed by the United States with 20 clusters. The top two clusters combined account for almost one of every five patent applications filed globally, driven by Japan’s Mitsubishi Electric and Chinese telecom giant Huawei.
China’s Hefei and Zhengzhou led the way with 23 per cent and 19 per cent growth in science and technology output, followed by Cairo , Chennai and Istanbul .Sao Paulo, in 73rd place, was the only top 100 cluster in Latin America, while Cairo in 95th spot was the only one in Africa, with the Egyptian capital entering the rankings for the first time.“Science and technology clusters serve as the foundation of robust national innovation ecosystems,” Wipo chief Daren Tang said.
