TREE NEWS update: On September 8, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) released its 2026 Global Innovation Index, ranking the Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Guangzhou cluster first among the world’s top 100 innovation clusters for the second consecutive year. The Macau-Zhuhai cluster also made the top 100 for the third straight year, underscoring the Greater Bay Area’s growing global standing in tech innovation.
Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Guangzhou Innovation Cluster Tops WIPO Ranking Again
The repeat top ranking signals durable institutional strength in the GBA's innovation pipeline, not a one-off. That Macau-Zhuhai also persists in the top 100 suggests spillover beyond the core hubs. For regional stakeholders, the benchmark now shifts from entry to retention—whether the cluster can sustain this lead as other global corridors intensify. The open question is how policy and capital flows adapt to defend this position.
