Science, technology and innovation are at the forefront of South and South East Asian countries' national agendas. The Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) Plan of Action on Science, Technology and Innovation (2016 to 2025)[1] and ASEAN IPR Action Plan (2016 to 2025)[2] show why and how science, technology and intellectual property (IP) can contribute to national and regional socio-economic development goals. At a national level, the Indian government has identified innovation as a priority, with initiatives such as Innovate India, a platform for showcasing innovation. The concerted policy push by governments and new initiatives from IP offices in the region to encourage IP investment and make IP protection more affordable are encouraging a culture of innovation and IP.
South and South East Asian innovators identified in the report saw their inventions rise by 10% year on year between 2014 and 2018.

Report Methodology:
Research was conducted using patents filed between 2014 and 2018 by organizations that originate from the region. From analysis of over 75,000 inventions across the region, 235 organizations made the final list of key innovators in the region. These organizations were based in 9 countries -- Brunei Darussalam, India, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam and included government research institutions, academia, and corporations. The research utilized editorially enhanced, authoritative and accurate patent data from Derwent World Patents IndexTM (DWPI) and Derwent Patent Citations IndexTM (DPCI), retrieved in July 2020, to track innovation based on four indicators: patent volume, patent grant success, citation volume and extent of globalization.
