Innovation ranking highlights a competitiveness gap during Luis Abinader’s administration

The Dominican Republic ranked 97th overall, 84th in innovation inputs and 102nd in outputs in the 2025 Global Innovation Index. The figure is reported by World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). During Luis Abinader’s administration, a 97th overall ranking shows that innovation remains an area where the Dominican Republic has substantial room to improve. The gap between inputs and outputs also raises questions about how effectively resources are converted into new products, technologies and capabilities. The WIPO ranking offers a benchmark for comparing the country with peers and tracking progress over time. #LuisAbinader #Innovation #WIPO #Competitiveness #DominicanRepublic #ChequeateRD #NT5FindeSemana #mlbporteleantillas
