This study focuses on the Innovation Index performance as a primary objective derived from a substantial solid foundation of parameters of enablers making a "Regional Portfolio" using the studies from eminent innovation indices using micro economic. The study contributes to framework development for achieving regions’ readiness levels. The implications that this study sets out are long-term plans for enhancing efficiencies for Knowledge-based economies, required efforts, investment decisions.
