The World Knowledge Competitiveness Index 2004 is an integrated and overall benchmark of the knowledge capacity, capability and sustainability of 125 regions across the globe, and the extent to which this knowledge is translated into economic value, and transferred into the wealth of the citizens of these regions, utilising 19 knowledge economy benchmarks, including employment levels in the knowledge economy, patent registrations, R&D investment by the private and public sector, education expenditure, information and communication technology infrastructure, and access to private equity. The World Knowledge Competitiveness Index 2004 is the only existing instrument that benchmarks such regional performance at a global level, with index comprising of 55 North American regions, 45 from Europe and 25 from Asia-Pacific. The World Knowledge Competitiveness Index 2004 features two new indicators adding to the seventeen factors already benchmarked by the index. The first new indicator measures the relative amount of private equity capital available to a region's firms, which represents an important source of finance for private firms to invest in new technologies and staff. Our second new indicator measures the level of broadband access within a region's economy, reflecting the willingness and/or ability of a region to embrace new technologies and to maximise their application.
