McKinsey has created an "Innovation Heat Map" (full image) that will help you identify the most successful innovation hubs around the world. Save a few cities like London, Tokyo and Tel Aviv, most of the "innovative clusters" can be found in the US with Silicon Valley in a class of its own.
This heat map slightly contradicts a previous report that ranked United States sixth in innovation and highlighted countries like Singapore, Taiwan, Finland and China but all these regions seem to missing in the heat map prepared by McKinsey.

since the graph is based on the number of US patents, it might be a little biased.

I still don’t think you can accurately measure innovation. Nice to know Houston is in the center of everything.

I always feel that American statistics and their reports are most of the time biased towards their country. They don’t even acknowledge the other cities. We should take it with a pinch of salt.
