The initiative of making such a rating comes from the Australian company 2thinknow. The purpose is to help entrepreneurs interested in the development of innovation and the search for an optimal region for this. On the list the cities are divided into five categories corresponding to the level of support for innovation: Nexus, Hub, Node, Influencer and Upstart.
The total score is given to cities on the evaluation of three criteria: the level of culture (as a source of ideas), the level of infrastructure and basic conditions for innovation. Baku is in the fourth category - below are only mega cities - beginners in innovation.
