据路透社2025年9月16日在伯林报道，9月16日，中国首次跻身联合国年度全球最具创新力国家排名前十，取代了欧洲最大经济体德国。此举背后，是中国企业在研发领域的大力投入。
在涵盖139个经济体、基于78项指标开展的《全球创新指数》报告中，瑞士自2011年起便稳居榜首，此次仍蝉联第一，瑞典和美国紧随其后，中国则位列第十。
《全球创新指数》显示，随着中国私营部门在研发资金投入方面与先进国家差距迅速缩小，该国有望成为全球研发投入最高的国家。

2024年，中国在国际专利申请量中占比约四分之一，仍是全球最大的国际专利申请来源国；而美国、日本和德国（三国合计占总申请量的40%）的申请量均出现小幅下降。
专利持有量被广泛视为衡量一个国家经济实力和产业技术水平的重要标志。
报告指出，由于投资下滑，全球创新前景面临不确定性。全球研发增长速度预计将从去年的2.9%放缓至今年的2.3%；而去年2.9%的增速，已是2010年金融危机后以来的最低水平。

《全球创新指数》联合主编萨沙·文施-文森特表示，从长远来看，德国无需为跌至第11位而担忧。他还补充称，此次新排名并未反映美国特朗普政府实施关税政策带来的影响。
发布该创新指数的联合国世界知识产权组织总干事邓鸿森（Daren Tang）表示：“德国数十年来一直是工业创新的强大引擎，地位稳固，如今其面临的挑战是，如何在这一基础上进一步成为数字创新强国。”
在此次排名中，位列美国之后、中国之前的其他前十国家依次为：韩国、新加坡、英国、芬兰、荷兰和丹麦。

China moved into the top 10 of the United Nations’ annual ranking of most innovative countries for the first time Tuesday, replacing Europe’s largest economy, Germany, as firms in Beijing invest heavily in research and development.
Switzerland remained in first place, a position it has held since 2011, followed by Sweden and the United States, while China was in 10th place in the Global Innovation Index (GII) survey of 139 economies that ranks them based on 78 indicators.
China is on track to become the biggest R&D spender as it rapidly closes the gap in private sector financing, the GII showed.
China contributed about a quarter of international patent applications in 2024, remaining the biggest source of them, while the US, Japan and Germany – which together make up 40% of total applications – all recorded slight declines.
Ownership of patents is widely seen as an important sign of a country’s economic strength and industrial know-how.
The outlook for global innovation is clouded by declining investment, according to the survey.
R&D growth is set to slow to 2.3% this year from 2.9% last year, which was its lowest since 2010 after the financial crisis.
Looking at the long term, Germany should not be alarmed by its fall to 11th place, said GII co-editor, Sacha Wunsch-Vincent, adding that the new rankings did not reflect the impact of tariffs imposed by the Trump administration in the US.
“The challenge for Germany is how…, alongside its strong, decades-long status as a really powerful engine of industrial innovation, to become a powerhouse of digital innovation,” said Daren Tang, director general of the UN’s World Intellectual Property Organization, which publishes the innovation index.
The other countries in the list’s top 10 – behind the US and ahead of China – were, in order of ranking: South Korea, Singapore, Britain, Finland, the Netherlands and Denmark.
