In the new economic era, the main source of a nation’s wealth is the social infrastructure that allows every citizen to realise his or her intellectual and creative potential.
Consequently, the Indigo Index, published by the journal Global Perspectives, seeks to look beyond the headline figure of GDP to measure a country’s entrepreneurial eco-system, and therefore its potential to adapt and develop.

Denmark takes the fourth position in the 2016 Indigo Index, ranking 152 countries.
Denmark, along with the other Nordic countries, scores consistently highly across all dimensions. However, two dimensions in particular, contribute most positively to the Indigo Score: Creativity & Innovation and Freedom.
