Japan's innovation ranking dropped by three spots since last year , and the US, which held first place when the Bloomberg Index first debuted in 2013, is now only the ninth most innovative country in the world. The second-largest economy, China, rose one spot to 15th.10. FranceFrance is one of the few countries on this list that didn't change its ranking.
