"For the first time, Singapore has topped the 2025 Global Talent Competitiveness Index (GTCI) -a ranking by the French business school INSEAD that measures how countries grow, attract, and retain talent. The city-state-the only Asian country in this year's top 10-dethroned Switzerland, which had held first place since the list's inception in 2013. Switzerland slid to second place on this year's list, closely followed by other European nations such as Denmark, Finland, Sweden, and the Netherlands."
""Economies that cultivate adaptable, cross-functional and AI-literate workforces tend to be better positioned to convert disruption into opportunity and sustain long-term competitiveness," said Paul Evans, Emeritus Professor of Organisational Behaviour at INSEAD and co-editor of the report, in a press statement dated Nov. 26. "This year's results underscore that talent competitiveness is not solely a function of income level, but of strategic policy orientation, institutional quality and effective mobilisation of human capital resources," he added."
Singapore rose to first place on the 2025 Global Talent Competitiveness Index, becoming the only Asian economy in the top 10 and displacing long-time leader Switzerland. Europe supplied seven of the top 10 economies, with Denmark, Finland, Sweden and the Netherlands among them. The United States fell to ninth, its lowest ranking since the index began. The GTCI assesses 77 indicators across 135 countries, covering over 97% of global GDP and 93% of the global population. Singapore led on generalist adaptive skills, reflecting socio-emotional flexibility, technological adaptability and innovation-driven outputs. Adaptive, cross-functional and AI-literate workforces correlate with sustained competitiveness.
