"Manufacturing Capability: China Well, of course. The Asian giant ranked 25th in terms of overall innovation, but was the leader in this category, which looked at manufacturing value added as a percentage of GDP and as a share of the world total of manufacturing value added. No 2 was South Korea.
"Tertiary Efficiency: Canada Canadians placed 11th overall and first in this factor, which measured the number of secondary graduates enrolled in post-secondary institutions as a percentage of the cohort; the percentage of the labor force with tertiary degrees; and the annual science and engineering graduates as a percentage of the labor force and as a percentage of all tertiary graduates. Taiwan came next.
