ICC Chair Maria Fernanda Garza has been appointed to the World Intellectual Property (WIPO) Global Innovation Index (GII) Advisory Board, to support its strategic direction and emphasize the role innovation plays in economic and social development.
The announcement was made during the launch of the 2023 World Intellectual Property (WIPO) Global Innovation Index (GII), a leading publication in global innovation policy.
The Advisory Board was created in 2011 to advise on the strategic direction of the Global Innovation Index (GII) and assist in sharing the results as they relate to world economies.
The Board is a select group of international policymakers, thought leaders and corporate executives drawn from diverse geographical and institutional backgrounds who participate in a personal capacity.
“Each new edition of the WIPO Global Innovation Index is an opportunity for all stakeholders to reflect on how to build healthy innovation ecosystems. The index provides valuable insight into the policies that make innovation happen and shows the crucial role that business plays in this ecosystem,”
Ms. Garza said.
