Paris climbed by eight places in the 2016 Dubai Innovation Index, primarily due to an improvement in funding, notably private investments including venture capital deals and inward FDI, which helped the city generate new jobs. Notable joint venture and strategic alliance deals that occurred in Paris over the past year include the Renault and Nissan alliance in addition to the KLM-Air France alliance with China Eastern Airlines. Paris is home to an innovation cluster named Paris-Saclay, which is home to 19 research institutions and further houses major corporations such as Siemens. The cluster was a designated as one of the world’s eight major innovation clusters by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2013. To expand its capabilities in the digital space, Paris is investing in a digital incubator named Station F, which is expected to open in 2017.

Hong Kong, is the city to the most skyscrapers in the word. Hong Kong has decreased its ranking by one place, however is still a top contender at third place. Areas that seem to be neglected over the year are economic growth, expenditure on education. MIT has picked Hong Kong for its first innovation center. The Hong Kong program will be the first one in the world that is focused on innovation, with 5,000 square feet of space that will include a facility equipped with advanced tools and materials for invention and prototyping. The national government subsidizes domestic companies that invest in new technologies and integrate innovative initiatives to their operations as part of its Innovation and Technology Fund (ITF). To also encourage research and development by domestic corporations, the national government subsidies patent applications to protect the Intellectual Property (IP) for new inventions.

Bangalore is one of the new additions to the Dubai Innovation Index, which examines the most innovative cities in the world. Though Bangalore lies at the bottom of the list in overall rankings, the recent development of the innovation culture has rightfully earned Bangalore a place on the index and the name “Silicon Valley of India”. Bangalore is home to local initiatives such as the “Startup Weekend Social Innovation Bangalore”, an annual three day conference supported by Google and “Lift India” to help new entrepreneurs present their ideas and receive funding and support from global technology experts and local business leaders.

During Expo Milan we EasyJet presented emerging technologies, they will be applying in the aviation sector for the first time; in the form of automated drones. The automated drones will perform detailed aircraft checks to assess damage to aircraft, quickly reporting back to engineers on any damage which may require further attention or maintenance work. Checks that would usually take more than a day to complete can now be performed in a couple of hours and with greater accuracy.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia’s commercial and transportation hub has observed a decrease in GDP growth, government debt and ease of getting credit. A reason for the decline can be traced to Malaysia being China’s largest trading partner in Southeast Asia, which two-way trade topped $100 billion in 2014. Malaysia now faces economic challenges far beyond the impact of the slowdown in the Chinese economy, as well as international investors’ growing fear of emerging markets. The Global Symposium on Innovative Financial Inclusion was held in September 2016 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The event is co-organized by the World Bank and Bank Negara Malaysia. Financial inclusion is recognized as critical to reducing poverty and achieving inclusive economic growth. Financially included individuals and firms can smooth their cash flows, meet unexpected expenditures or losses in income, or invest in their skills, health, assets, or new business. Innovation in financial services has the potential to enhance financial inclusion in terms of access, quality, and usage in a cost-effective manner. Another effort for improvement is The Social Innovation Lab that works with local partners to design new products, services, and interventions to address challenges facing Malaysia’s most vulnerable children and young people. The Social Innovation Lab is part of a global network of UNICEF-established Innovation Labs The Lab collaborates with NGOs, the private sector, and government organizations, to support the design and testing of new approaches to addressing children’s issues.

Mexico City has increased investment on research and development financed by the government and also a significant improvement in ease of getting credit which attributes to the improvement in overall ranking. Venture capital investments in Mexico surged to $978 million in the first half of 2015, up from $403 million for first half of 2014. Mexico is emerging as one of the fastest-growing tech hubs in Latin America, with more than $1 billion in investments last year and more than 500,000 IT professionals. An example of the research and development financed by the government includes, the mayor of Mexico City had launched the “Laboratoria para la Ciudad”, which is an experimental program to foster civic innovation and urban creativity. An example of the thriving economy is a new air transport agreement between the United States and Mexico just went into effect and it could be great news for Delta's $1.5 billion joint venture with Aeromexico.

Moscow, home improved in PES, funding and culture however, has maintained its rank in the Dubai Innovation Index. In terms of funding, Russia spent 18.4 percent of its reserve fund in a single month to plug deficits in the federal budget. The country's reserve fund fell from $38.18 billion to $32.2 billion during the course of August 2016, shrinking to just over a third of pre-crisis levels. Showing that in times of energy price crisis the government is stepping in. On the other hand Moscow Agency of Innovations was founded by the Department of Science, Industrial Policy and Entrepreneurship to serve as a one-stop shop for participants of Moscow's innovation ecosystem. Open Innovation is for technology entrepreneurs, start-ups, leaders of the scientific community, managers of venture capital funds and the financial sector, heads of Russian and foreign corporations, and government representatives to exchange ideas on upcoming technological agenda and its impact on our future. The practical focus of the Forum is to assist technology entrepreneurs in the search for new opportunities for development, and facilitate meetings between investors, clients, partners and government officials.

Although Singapore declined in the overall Dubai Innovation Index rankings, it scored well in the government pillar component of the index due to its efficient business markets, well-structured tax rates and favorable tax environment. In 2016, the Monetary Authority of Singapore opened its fintech innovation lab to experiment with fintech solutions among financial institutions, start-ups and technology vendors. The launch of the lab reflects Singapore’s ambition to establish itself as a global fintech hub. Singapore’s national Innovation Cluster Programme encourages collaboration between corporations, the government and academic institutions to translate innovative ideas to market across various sectors. To develop capabilities in Intellectual Property, the national government launched its Intellectual Property (IP) Hub Masterplan in 2013 to make Singapore a global hub for firms to register and develop IP for new products and services.

Johannesburg, Africa’s fastest growing city has increased in rank due to improvements in skills & talent, growth in revenue generation and technology readiness. An example of developments is IBM opening its second IBM Research laboratory in September 2016, a $61-million 10-year project, in Braamfontein a suburb in Johannesburg. The lab will collaborate with the country's Department of Trade and Industry and Department of Science and Technology on data-driven healthcare, digital urban ecosystems and astronomy. Johannesburg is also home to the Healthcare Innovation Summit for a second year. The summit deals with access to facilities and medication, lack of skills and chronic disease care continue to place demands on existing healthcare resources in Africa, while economic turbulence propels governments to scrutinize healthcare budgets more closely. JoziHub is a co-creation space in Johannesburg dedicated to creating sustainable change in Africa. South Africa has the most developed telecommunications industry on the continent where there are more sim cards than people. Johannesburg continues to be the engine room of the African economy and the perfect location for an incubator, created to kickstart & accelerate innovation in the tech and social scopes.

Dubai, home of the Dubai Innovation Index has increased its ranking by one place over the year. Areas of improvement include the recommendations from last year’s innovation index report which consist of education and research and development. However, the adult literacy rates, number of libraries and graduates in science and engineering have improved. The gross domestic expenditure on R&D by the private sector has also increased. The Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation (CEI), established under the University of Dubai's umbrella, is a research and consultancy platform operating in tandem with San Diego State University's Center for Information Convergence & Strategy (CICS). CEI offers a platform for students, alumni, and faculty to network, collaborate, & develop their ideas and support entrepreneurs through various stages of the entrepreneurial and innovation process. In October 2016, Dubai launched its AED 1 billion Future Accelerator Program, which seeks to develop innovative solutions across eight sectors including: education, health, infrastructure, transportation, security, and energy and finance through collaboration between the government authorities and the private sector. In November 2016, the Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Fund to Finance Innovation was launched. The AED 2 billion fund provides support to resident individuals and companies in the UAE that offer innovative ideas in the form of products, services and processes.

New York City leads the 2016 edition of the Dubai Innovation Index, primarily due to an increase in the number of joint venture and venture capital deals. New York City is home to Digital.NYC, an innovation center which provides support and resources for startups to innovate through information and resources. Digital.NYC additionally offers a platform to connect residents to the city’s technology landscape. New York City’s Partnership Innovation Council seeks to ensure that the city’s regulatory landscape remains relevant in the everchanging technology landscape, through its panel of industry experts. Additionally, New York City’s Department of Education (NYCDOE), launched its iZone initiative in 2010, an incubator to support innovation in local schools.

San Francisco, improved its position in the Dubai Innovation from 2016, rising two places from 2015. San Francisco’s movement in the rankings was attributed to a significant increase in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows from 2015. Under the mandate of the San Francisco Center for Economic Development (SFCED), the Innovation Hub (iHub) provides a collaborative platform for stakeholders in the city’s innovation ecosystem such as startups, government entities and venture capitalists to drive innovation initiatives and create jobs in the State of California. San Francisco is the home of Pilot44, a digital incubator aimed at supporting startups in the acceleration of their digital innovation through the use of emerging technologies. In 2016, San Francisco inaugurated Superpublic, a 5,000 sq foot space aimed at fostering collaboration between the federal government, state government, private sector and academic institutions to develop innovative solutions to complex issues facing the city.
