OPINION

It is a ranking aimed at assessing innovation in cities; Although it does not specify what type, the indicators used seem to address innovation from different perspectives -cultural and leisure, commercial, research, promotional-.

Along with these indicators, there are others of a general nature but that are necessary to assess the city as a whole and the correlation they may have with innovation.

The company indicates that the solutions they offer are based on evidence. However, they do not offer information about the source of the data or the year to which they refer, they seem to ask for an act of faith in their information.

Three dimensions appear in the Ranking but we have not found information on the indicators that make them up.
