To sustain innovation, businesses must attract and retain the most creative and productive minds. In this age of global mobility, countries, too, go head to head in the battle for talent. Global cities compete to provide an ideal life and work environment for innovations, and to harness their creativity to become stronger and more competitive still. Innovative governments do the same thing on a national scale. They attract talent, perform efficiently, and continually upgrade their systems and services. They empower citizens to cultivate their collective energy and develop their potential, and thus become drivers of their countries' growth and advancement in the world arena. Above all, they value human minds and help people become better guardians and builders of our planet. For governments, innovation is an existential question. Only those that sustain innovation can drive change in the world, because they are the governments that never grow old.
