Rapidly changing technology and the rapid increase in competition with globalization increases the importance of innovation efforts for companies and countries. It is important to measure innovation in order for companies and/or countries to determine their competitiveness, to analyze the current situation and to determine a road map for innovation. As there are many factors affecting innovation, there are various studies on measuring innovation. Annually published the Global Innovation Index (GII) measures the innovation of countries using many indicators that affect innovation. In this study, the three sub- headings under each of the main indicators of innovation input and output subscale in the 2018 GII report were taken into consideration and the data of 126 countries were analyzed by clustering analysis. In this study, Ward’s Technique and K-Means method are used.
