An ideal environment for both your happiness and a career in innovation? We found it.
Finland is the first country in the world to create and publish The Superposition Index:
a structured framework that evaluates a country’s prerequisites for both wellbeing and innovation.
The 2026 index measures the combined weight of these markers, ranking countries accordingly – and proves Finland’s superposition at #1.
The Superposition Index combines data from numerous authoritative global data sources sources across two fields: human well-being and the prerequisites for innovation. When both rank highly, they create an ideal environment for thriving in both your personal life and your career.
The research examines insights from sources such as The World Happiness Report, the UN’s Sustainable Development Report and WIPO’s Global Innovation Index. These have been weighted and brought together to create the Superposition Index.
Based on the results of the combined wellbeing and innovation panels, The Superposition Index scores countries from 1 to 100 and ranks them accordingly. The research finds Finland at first place with a total Superposition score of 71,5.
