The paper investigates the innovation ecosystem alignment of ASEAN countries, based on the Global Competitiveness Report 2019 and Global Innovation Report 2019. Of interest are issues on institutions, human capital and research, infrastructure, market sophistication, and business sophistication. The results show the comparative strengths and weaknesses of each ASEAN economy. The information is suggestive to policymaker and private sectors if any measurement is required to close these gaps or to leverage their innovation ecosystem.
