Abstract
The aim of this study is to compare European Union (EU) and Turkey in terms of innovation performance and to determine similar and dissimilar countries. To compare EU countries and Turkey, multidimensional scaling analysis and cluster analysis are employed. In this study, innovation performance of the countries is measured by basic indicators such as number of patents, trademarks, industrial designs and R&D density, R&D personnel and innovation scores of the countries. Findings obtained from analyses support each other and according to results it has been seen that Turkey is in the same performance group with countries that are called as Modest Innovators. The performance of the Modest Innovators is well below that of EU27 and they belong to upper-middle income level.
