The GII relies on two sub-indices—

the Innovation Input Sub-

Index and the Innovation Output

Sub-Index—each built around pillars

The GII overall score is the

simple average of the Input and

Output Sub-Indices.

The Innovation Efficiency Ratio is

the ratio of the Output to the Input

sub-indices.
