Authors : Brahimi Hadia .
Abstract
This study aims to analyze the innovation performance of African countries for the years 2014 and 2024 by evaluating the changes that occurred during this period. A descriptive-analytical approach, complemented by principal component analysis and clustering analysis was applied to the innovation performance indices and conducted using R-studio software. The study's findings revealed a significant difference in the global innovation index scores of African countries between 2014 and 2024. Additionally, two distinct clusters were identified: one comprising of developing economies facing persistent structural challenges, and the other including countries with more established innovation systems and infrastructure. These results support the confirmation of the two hypotheses formulated for this study.
