I-10 Global Industrial Powerhouse Index™ 2025


I-10 Global Industrial Powerhouse Index™ 2025

NYET’s Flagship Annual Intelligence Index
— Quantifying the Executional Foundations of Global Industrial Power

The I-10 Global Industrial Powerhouse Index™, published annually by the New York Institute of Entrepreneurship and Technology® (NYET), is the world’s only strategic-intelligence index measuring how nations design, operate, and renew the executional substrates that govern the global industrial order.

Whereas IMD’s competitiveness rankings and the WEF’s Global Competitiveness Index assess structural conditions, the I-10 Intelligence Index maps the full executional chain—from industrial productivity and financial/digital capacity, through education and technology diffusion, to logistics, energy transition, macroeconomic resilience, and human development.
It shows not only who holds industrial power, but how their design logic becomes the operational standard others must adopt.


Why These 10 Nations?

The I-10 comprises the G7 economies (United States, Japan, Germany, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Canada) plus China, India, and South Korea—the minimum sufficient set of economies that collectively:

  1. Command system-scale production in advanced manufacturing and high-complexity industries;
  2. Set global standards and compliance regimes that shape industry norms worldwide;
  3. Control strategic technology stacks—semiconductors, AI, cloud, materials, and energy systems—via platform dominance, intellectual property, and supply-chain leverage;
  4. Mobilize capital and procurement power to project domestic executional models internationally.

Together, these ten are not merely participants in the global economy—they define the operational logic of the global industrial ecosystem.


Strategic Value for Leaders

The I-10 Global Industrial Powerhouse Index™ is more than a scoreboard. It is an operational intelligence framework that enables governments, corporations, and universities to:

  • Pinpoint executional strengths and vulnerabilities across eight strategic dimensions;
  • Understand policy–industry–education interlocks that produce—or erode—industrial power;
  • Design investment priorities, standards strategies, and partnership architectures to secure long-term influence.

Built on NYET’s proprietary Theo-Practical Approach™, the I-10 Intelligence Index transforms strategic insight into execution roadmaps—ensuring that intelligence drives action, and action consolidates leadership.
