Scientific American Releases worldVIEW 2016
July 27, 2016 |
The Scientific American released the 2016 issue of worldVIEW: A Global Biotechnology Perspective. It features the worldVIEW Scorecard, which ranks countries according to their biotech involvement and innovation. The United States remains on top of the list since the Scorecard started in 2009. It excels particularly in two categories: productivity and education/workforce. The second on the list is Singapore, followed by Denmark, New Zealand, and Australia. Other countries showed excellence in some specific areas, such as Denmark with the top score in intensity; Hong Kong ranks third in enterprise support; and Saudi Arabia takes the 12th spot in education/workforce, due to its students' strong desire to return home after foreign doctoral studies (low brain drain).
