Singapore trails behind Switzerland as most innovative

But Singapore is ahead of Belgium, Germany.

Bloomberg reported that Switzerland topped an innovation ranking of 35 countries for the 26th time in 2016, ahead of Singapore, Belgium, Germany and Finland.

The home of drug makers Roche Holding AG and Novartis AG did well in all sub-categories, including education and the economy.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
