Switzerland_1

February 19, 2026
Switzerland is regularly described as one of the world’s most innovative economies. In the Global Innovation Index, the country has repeatedly ranked first, ahead of much larger industrial nations. This position reflects a combination of high R&D intensity, strong patent activity and a dense network of research-performing companies. Yet these aggregate indicators say relatively little about how innovation is structured in practice, and even less about the position of electronics within the Swiss economy.

February 03, 2026
In a recent analysis, Evertiq explored which countries dominate global R&D spending. Viewed through the lens of absolute investment volumes, the picture is largely shaped by the United States and China, followed by established industrial powerhouses such as Germany, Japan and France. Shifting that lens away from global heavyweights and toward a smaller, highly R&D-intensive economy reveals a different dynamic — one where the relationship between research investment and industrial capability becomes more clearly defined. Finland provides a useful case for understanding how research investment translates into industrial capability.

rare-earth-minerals_3

new-technologies_5

January 28, 2026
For years, the global technology narrative seemed simple: the United States led in innovation, while China was primarily seen as the world’s manufacturing floor. But that picture has been changing rapidly, almost in real time. As competition between Washington and Beijing increasingly centres on technology and strategic industries, a key question emerges: do the numbers actually reflect this shift? Has China truly caught up with — or even overtaken — the United States in research and development spending? And how does the broader global ranking look beyond this high-profile rivalry?
