Veneta Andonova

academic

Veneta Andonova is an associate professor at the School of Management at the University of the Andes in Colombia. She is a member of the Global Innovation Index (GII) Academic Network, which includes twelve top universities worldwide. Andonova specializes in innovation and public policy, providing insights into how countries can measure and enhance their innovative capacities. In a recent discussion, she emphasized the importance of the GII as a multidimensional tool that not only ranks nations but also highlights their strengths and weaknesses in innovation, serving as a guide for policymakers and the private sector. Her analysis of Colombia's drop in the GII ranking reflects her belief that the country's relative decline is not necessarily indicative of deterioration but rather a slower pace of progress compared to other nations.
