AB One of the main concerns regarding innovation lies in knowingand understanding how this phenomenon occurs. Many countriesare basing their aspirations for progress on innovation, placing itat the heart of their growth strategies. In response to this need,this study proposes to analyse the combined effects of five condi tions that can lead to a country’s innovation. Using a sample of51 countries and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis(fsQCA), this study aims to find out whether a country’s long-termorientation, its public expenditure on education, its democracylevel, the inflows of foreign direct investment (FDI), and its entre preneurial activity can lead independently or in combination tothe presence of innovation. The results show that the democracylevel and the long-term orientation of a country are key condi tions to lead to a country’s innovation. Conversely, the inflows ofFDI and the public expenditure on education seem to play a sec ondary role to lead to a country’s innovation. Besides, the entre preneurial activity of a country and its innovative activity seem tobehave in the opposite direction. The results are intended to helpgovernments, businesses, and investors make decisions capable ofgenerating greater value at all levels.
