Sweden most innovative in the EU

Sweden has ended up on the first place on the European Commission's ranking of the EU-countries when it comes to innovation in 2011. The ranking includes all 27 EU-member states... but also Croatia, Iceland, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Norway, Serbia, Switzerland and Turkey. The other well-performing countries in the ranking are Denmark, Germany and Finland.

If we also include the non-EU countries in the ranking, the leader is Switzerland, followed by Sweden.
