Singapore has [1]claimed the top spot in the 2025 Global Talent Competitiveness Index for the first time, displacing Switzerland from a position the European nation had held since the ranking's inception in 2013. The index, produced by business school INSEAD and the Portulans Institute, measured 135 economies across 77 indicators spanning soft skills, AI talent concentration, and formal education systems. The city-state ranked first globally in formal education and what the report calls "Generalist Adaptive Skills," a category covering soft skills, digital literacy, and innovation-oriented thinking.
A key factor in Singapore's rise was a seven-place jump in talent retention, moving from 38th to 31st. The United States fell from third place in 2023 to ninth this year, its weakest showing in 12 years, due to declines in openness and lifelong learning metrics. High-income European countries continue to dominate the top ten, holding seven positions.

It's basically New York City in flip flops.

Hmm, a French school puts out a ranking that is dominated by European countries and that elevated Singapore, where it fortuitously has a campus, to the top spot.
What does this mean? Nothing. An arbitrary ranking from a school that most of us have never heard of.

At first I moderated you Troll but then reconsidered, you commenting on this topic while not knowing (or explaning) Inseat is worse than being a troll.
