Dear Members of the Portulans Institute Community,
The Global Innovation Index (GII) was conceived and developed by Professor Soumitra Dutta, who introduced it in 2007 as a tool to measure and advance innovation performance globally. Since its inception, Professor Dutta has remained closely engaged in the development and evolution of the GII over nearly two decades.
In 2011, the GII entered into a collaboration with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), contributing to the further development and global reach of the initiative over the years. Since 2024, the Portulans Institute has collaborated with WIPO on the GII. That collaboration has now come to an end.
The Portulans Institute, founded by Professor Dutta, remains committed to the continued development of the GII, consistent with its original conception, established methodology, and longstanding trajectory.
The Portulans Institute is focused on preserving the continuity, integrity, and global relevance of the GII as a single and coherent framework in the years ahead.
We thank WIPO and the broader GII community for their contributions over the years.
 
Sincerely,
 
Prof. William Dutton
Co-President

Dr. Rafael Escalona Reynoso
