The four pillars of Knowledge Economic Index are,

• An economic and institutional regime to provide incentives for the efficient use of existing and new knowledge and the flourishing of entrepreneurship;

• An educated and skilled population to create, share, and use knowledge well;

• An efficient innovation system of firms, research centers, universities, consultants and other organizations to tap into the growing stock of global knowledge, assimilate and adapt it to local needs, and create new technology;

• Information and communication technology to facilitate the effective creation, dissemination, and processing of information.

 

And here, kNOWledge works on increasing the KEI, concentrating on the first three pillars of KEI.
