Background
• Starting point: Set of 32 indicators
• Agreement: Set of 12 core indicators to measure
innovation performance on OAS member countries
• Based on methodologies recommended by the OECD and
used in several innovation surveys
• European Innovation Scoreboard
• ESIDET (Mexico)
• Most countries would be able to estimate these indicators
Indicators (STI)
1. Published scientific articles per million inhabitants
2. Patent applications per million inhabitants
3. Proportion of companies with internal innovation
(products or processes)
4. Proportion of companies that collaborate with others in
innovation activities
5. Proportion of companies with technological innovation
6. Proportion of companies developing marketing /
organizational innovations
Indicators (STI)
7. Proportion of sales of technologically new products
8. Proportion of sales of technologically improved products
9. Proportion of Technology Balance of Payments to GDP
10. Gross Domestic Expenditure on Research and
Development (GERD) as a proportion of GDP
11. ICT expenditure as a share of GDP
12. Researchers per thousand of labour force
Inclusive Innovation
Innovation not designed for profit or economic growth of countries,
yet improves the quality of life for its citizens
Innovation that, even though is not “strategic or sustainable”,
contributes to social welfare and equality by reducing the gap in
knowledge, skills, opportunities and access to goods and services
Innovation that reduces poverty, is inclusive of the poor and the
marginalized, and reduces social problems
Inclusive Innovation Development Index (IIDI)
Components to consider for an index
1. Proportion of Budget allocated to intermediary
institutions that bridge gaps to improve the lives of
those at the base of the pyramid (Government,
Academe, Enterprises, Non-Profit Organizations or
Development Agencies)
2. Proportion of projects received and approved from
active researchers that work with marginalized
communities to build their capabilities
3. Proportion of Low Cost Technology patents
4. Proportion of Patents that reduce costs, which are
not introduced to the market
IIDI
Once the following is determined
1. Cut-off point of the pyramid (poverty
line)
2. Type of commodity of the innovation
(food, housing, transportation, clothing,)
3. Its affordability to be acquired by the
poor
4. Its qualification as inclusive innovation
5. That it is acquirable in the market
RATIO: Inclusive
innovation
commodities with
respect to total
innovation
commodities
Example
Topic
Project
• Social communication of
science
Study for the promotion of science in marginalized
elementary schools
• Poverty Abatement
Determinants of poverty, marginalization and social
gap in states and municipalities.
Articulation of Innovation Systems in Rural Areas
• Knowledge Economy
Digital gap in higher education
Next Steps
Collect comments from the participants in the Working Group regarding
the set of indicators on innovation
Distribute the final version of indicators
Approval of the set of indicators by members of the Working Group
Send to all countries the set of indicators
Workshop to define the methodology for estimating these indicators
on innovation
