The production of high technology is particularly attractive for countries due to the added value it creates. The research institution and the industry sector are among the sectors that have an impact on the production of high technology, and measuring their efficiency is very important. This research seeks to evaluate the efficiency of countries with a national IQ above 85 in the production of high technology, considering the capabilities that are based on human capital, such as innovation, educational attainment, and national intelligence. The current research is quantitative and descriptive in terms of method and applied. In terms of the time horizon, it is cross-sectional and in terms of the method of data collection, it is library-based and by referring to official international portals such as the World Bank. In order to rank countries, identify super-efficient countries and improve the efficiency of high technology production, a two-stage chain for the production of high technology has been considered by using the network data coverage analysis method. In the first stage of this chain, the research institution with the inputs of the number of research and development researchers (human capital index) and the amount spent on research and development, and in the second stage, there is the industry sector with foreign direct investment inputs, the number of patent applications (innovation index) and the number of scientific articles (educational attainment index) of each country. The findings show that 12 countries out of 56 countries are efficient in the production of high technology.

High-tech industries are a factor of competitive advantage between countries.Technology is knowledge, and the economic complexity of a society is dependent on the high amount of knowledge of the people of that society, which can be seen in the products produced by them.People with knowledge and skills or in other words human capital interact with each other and combine their knowledge to produce a product (productive output).A reliable indicator of human capital is intelligence, which is also related to innovation The purpose of this study is to investigate the infrastructure of national IQ, innovation, educational attainment, nutrition which is supposed to explain part of the efficiency of nations in the production of high-tech. For this purpose, quantitative indicators of national IQ and nutrition infrastructures are considered as primary inputs in the first stage, and innovation and educational attainment are considered as outputs for primary inputs. In the second stage, innovation and educational attainment as input and production of high technology as the final output of a network model, of the type of data envelopment analysis series for 23 selected countries are considered. The data were collected from official international sources. The results show the differences between the efficiency of selected countries in producing high-tech products and also estimate the weight of each infrastructure. The findings show that the highest weight / importance is related to national IQ and nutrition infrastructure, which can be achieved by upgrading these two infrastructures in the studied countries to maximize the production of high technology.
