2023 is the first time the index has been developed nationwide by the Academy of Science, Technology and Innovation, Ministry of Science and Technology.
The index aims to provide a scientifically and practically based toolkit for leaders at all levels to make decisions, develop and implement policies, as well as provide useful reference information on the investment environment and resource conditions for local production and business activities.
According to the Ministry of Science and Technology, direct comparison between localities is only relative and is not the main purpose of the index because each locality has different conditions, characteristics and development orientations.
Accordingly, the PII Index provides scientific basis and evidence on strengths, weaknesses, potential factors and necessary conditions for socio-economic development based on science, technology and innovation of each locality.
The Provincial Innovation Index (PII) is a composite index consisting of 52 component indicators. The PII is built closely following the structure of the Global Innovation Index (GII) published annually by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and has been used by the Government in management and administration since 2017.
