Innovation Index: Are You Prepared to Shift from Disruption to Growth?

The US is loosening restrictions on advanced chip exports to China, hoping to slow its manufacturing progress, but China’s drive for self-sufficiency is accelerating — will this policy shift actually work?

Asia remains one of the world’s most dynamic growth regions—but the forces shaping business outcomes are changing.

At Oxford Economics, we help you surface and quantify those contributions, turning anecdotes into evidence. Our Economic Impact Consulting team builds defensible models that capture direct, indirect, and induced impacts, plus catalytic effects that are often missed, such as supplier development, skills formation, productivity gains, and infrastructure upgrades. We translate your operational data into board and regulator ready insights on jobs, GVA, incomes, and tax across construction and operations, at city, provincial, and national levels. We also run forward looking scenarios, including AI driven load growth, power and carbon forecast, and policy shifts, so you can credibly articulate both today’s impact and tomorrow’s trajectory. The result is a clear country level value story that strengthens stakeholder trust, supports siting and incentives, and helps you scale with confidence.

The first KPMG Strategic AI Capability Index (SACI) provides a comparative, evidence-based assessment of how the world’s leading regions in the race for AI leadership (the United States, Europe, and China) are positioned to develop, scale, and govern artificial intelligence. The analysis is complemented by a detailed view of Europe’s internal sub-regions.
